 Thanks for the replies dave and glen. I am 24 my dad is 53, were really close. anyway... I will take a look at those twisted wedge heads. I believe the 1401 is just the performer but I cant be sure without the time to look them up. (i am on break at work atm).
 And Glen that confirms what i was afraid of on the heads. I believe the pistons that you speak of are the speed pro or very similar. I came up with roughly the same CR numbers you have I was afraid of that as well. And thought the cam was a little much for the stock heads lift wise. So the question becomes better heads or smaller cam. Lets say my budget is around 1200 to 1500, but lets also say i need the quickest least expensive option. It will only be in the firebird for a few years lets say 3-5 before the original motor will have been rebuilt. after which the 327 will be put it in a '70 nova 2 door if memory serves.
 
 And dave i am also entertaining the idea of those vortec heads, If im not mistaken the combustion chamber is 64 cc with a 1.94 intake and a 1.5 exhaust but i could me mistaken. Am i correct in assuming this would drive the CR closer to the 9:5 to 1 area glen?
