    Make sure you change the valvesprings. Other than that, I would leave the heads alone.

    3 angle is always good. I dunno. as long as you aren't paying too much still do it. that sounds like it would help you out either way.

    How much are you paying to get all the work done to the heads?

    A mill to bring the compression up may also be a good thing for you.
