But yes, you will need a computer tune also...like the Xcal from Troyers. To my knowledge PI heads on a NON PI motor will not work w/o a tune.
You will also need the PI intake manifold...it has slightly different shaped runner on it where it meets the heads. I remember someone saying it might be possible to use the NON PI intake if you do some work to it with a Dremel, cant remember if it will work for sure or not though.
By the time put put on PI heads and add the tune, you should easily be at 260 HP.
If you are trying to avoid a tuner, then any head swapping or porting is pretty much out of the question...you will just have to stick with the basic bolt ons...

It seems like if you have the dough, you could just pro charge your stock set up and gain even more - installing a pro-charger as you prolly know is cake.
