Default Best bang for the buck upgrade 99HP500..??

Engines coming out over the winter, thinking about upgrading the motor a little. Nothing extreme, but maybe a set of heads and intake with a cam?

I keep seeing everyone reference the AFR 315cc aluminum heads.

Anyone else have any input, or tried some other combos? Brodix, Dart, Merlin?

Thanks for any input!

Give Bob, RMbuilder a call. He custom grinds cams and has matching components that work. Do a search many of us have used him with great results.

Allot of guys (myself included) like the AFRs because they're a great flkowing head and good quality, and about the best bang for the buck. Heads, cam, intake, carb, and you're good to go for decent improvement without going overboard. And as jeffswav said, good guy for parts and advice is rmbuilder aka Bob Madara 585-654-8583.
