Depending on how much your going to spend...
For ~$1000 you can have a set of Trick Flow Twisted Wedge heads with 2.02/1.60 valves that will work with the stock pistons up to .500" lift. These heads with a matching TFS Stage 1 cam will yield ALOT more bang per buck vs. a set of ported cast iron heads that wont make anywhere near the power as the TFS heads and end up costing about the same in the end.

Spend the extra $ and go aluminum. TFS, AFR, or eddie.

Stock heads are stock heads. Its not worth it to spend money on bigger valves and/or porting on stock heads. A set of aftermarket heads out of the box will kill any ported factory head.

Aluminum heads don't over heat. Whoever told you that needs to get his head out of his ass. Damn near everything comes from the factory with aluminum heads these days. They disapate heat much faster than iron which is good. If you can swing it, go with some good aluminum heads. They will be a much better investment with much greater rewards.
