What do you mean by "headed"? It had aluminum heads to start with right? What did you end up doing to them?

Have you thought about a different tranny? I was disappointed with the 5-speed in my '06. I didn't like the split from 2nd to 3rd gear; too much spread. I woudl have preffered a tranny that had a more even spread through out the gear range.
I thought the truck posted above with the 6-speed conversion was interesting.
