Default 03 dakota r/t heads

i am new at upgrading dodge vehicles... i have a 03 dakota r/t club cab.
i want to stroke the engine and i am trying to figure out if i need to change the heads or not.

what kind of heads came on the engine?
what other goodies should i change while stroking the engine?

i have already upgraded the throttle body (big difference)


thanks

stock heads are nothing special. in order to get the most benefit from upgrading the heads you will need to get a better intake manifold and a more aggressive cam. you've already upgraded the throttle body so thats good, but did you get a cold air intake?
www.hughesengines.com
they have a good selection of high performance heads cams and intake manifolds for 360's. they also have stroker kits if your interested.

i have already added dual cat backs and cold air intake. i would love to turbo charge the truck but no kits available. if i can figure out all the parts i need then i have to figure out how to get the pcm changed.

For a turbo check out STS turbo. I think it's ststurbo.com but search in google to make sure.
