replacing the heads

I need to replace the valve seals in the heads, getting really tired of the smoke on start up, so I was wondering if I should just buy some l35's my first sy had em and it was way faster than this one. how much better are they?
I realize they arent votecs but I really dont have any desire to have a truck that is fast. 13.0's is fine for me.
I just want a more efficient package. If I remember correctly from posts long ago a big reason for our detonation problem is the poor head design, correct? will the l35's fix this? I guess the next question is how much more for the votecs and what kind of gain from those. I mean if they flow 50% better than the stockers and 25% than the L35's all for only a $200-300 more then I guess do it once and do it right.

thanks

built, not bought
Re: replacing the heads

vortecs are so much better than the l35s. if you want to keep it slow then you don't need bigger valves just buy a set of new heads off ebay for 100 - $200. you can go to your local machine shop and have them modify the intake and heads. there is a lot of info on this site actually.

Re: replacing the heads

if you want low cost and decent upgrade...go w/ the L35s. The combustion chamber still isn't as good as the vortecs...but its a better head than the stockers. Plus its a bolton head instead of having to mod your lower intake. Way less headache and $...and if you are happy w/ just a quick truck - go for the L35s. Make sure you get the screw in stud version of the head. www.car-part.com will net you a plethora of them.
