Buying new heads. What to get...

Hey guys, been a while since ive been on here. Just sold my little turbo civic and now im in the market for some heads.

I have a 95 GT. its .020 over with forged pistons, e303 cam, 75mm TB, Aeromotve FPR, Power Plus Upper + Lower intake, bbk shortys, U/D Pulleys.
Currently I have stock injectors but i would like to purchase a bigger set along with new MAF.

Id like to go with a decent set of Aluminum heads but id like to keep it under 1500. Id like to have some roller rockers to go with it.
anyone have any suggestions on heads and rockerarms and will i need to get different length pushrods? what size injectors should i be going with?

thanks guys

Just need to look in the right place. You prolly are not going to find them on this forum, but Corral has alot of stuff like this for sale weekly. Here are a few examples of what is currently out there.

I have used the Vic Jrs, the Performers, TFS high ports and they are all good. I currenly have AFR 205 that i got from Corral.

Just look around as there are plenty of deals to be found.

I loved myAFR 165cc heads. I got the pedestal mount ones. Put them on a stock shortblock, with the stock cam, added 1.7 RRs, edelbrock intake, 65mm TB, 75mm Pro-M bullet maf and 24 lbers, equal shorties, off road x, magnaflow cat back, 2.95 T5, 3.73s, Notch that was about 2900 with me in it, 12.301 @ 111 MPH crappy 1.73 60'. I had baseline suspensions street kit out back and weight jacker lowers, 90/10s up front and a totally burnt out trac loc so basically the 1.73 was on one wheel peel. This same car with 4.10s, a rebuild trac loc with xtra clutches, and hand finish porting on the AFRs and an Ed Curtis cam [this was 2003] would have went well into the 11s.

Anyways I loved the heads... On the stock long block the car ran 13.11 @ 102.7, put them heads, edel intake, rockers on basically and dropped to 12.30s @ 111.... so they sure added some hp.
