Get the AFR heads and then also start getting the stuff to go with a hydraulic roller cam. More power everywhere. On a pump gas 383 chevelle and a voodoo hyd roller with AFRs, I ran a 8 flat in the 1/8 with a full interior and 3.31 gears, drove it to the track about an hour away, made 10 runs and drove it home. The guy I traded it to swapped in the better converter I gave him and it ran in the 7.70s.

Clay Smith cams makes hyd rollers specifically for the AFR heads.
