Unfortunately, you can perform an entire list of upgrayedd's that will pick up as much or more power than the heads alone without going into the engine itself, but if you have ambitions to build a motor without a power adder, then the Ford Racing M-6049-M50BR and M-6050-M50BR heads might be on that list.
Why the hell would you want to spend that much money when you can go to Truestreet spend almost half that and they are better flowing heads. I paid 1500 for my heads and they flow a lot better then those.

Jeff did you ever get any flow numbers for your heads? I may be interested in sending mine out. Also did you upgrade/change the valves, seals, etc.?

I wouldn't be doing it until the winter but it would be good to start getting my plan in place. Thanks!
