So, more mid to high rpm style driving?

Larger valves are for you then. Of course, simply changing the heads may or may not get you more power. Also need to compliment that change with a cam and intake designed to operate in the higher RPM band as well. Not to mention headers, and a free flowing exhaust system. (which you already seem to have pretty much covered.)

Check out some of the deals on Ebay. Odessa Cylinder Head makes some good ones, as does Clearwater. Both companies have pretty much the same offerings, and reasonable prices. You can get a pair of fully assembled heads from either company, for less than what you would be for one of the eddy's.

I heard that Odessa's were the same as Clearwater's except a couple of hundred cheaper. I forget who said it but it was someone on the DF.

For a while, I had wondered if they weren't the same company...... the product line is so similar.

Off road mudding....don't get performance heads, but I would actually say don't get new heads. Or just get the odessa/clearwater heads that are cheap, but better castings.
