Default Performance cylinder head

So I have the 0331 head, and i want to get rid of it soon. I don't want to go with a stock replacement, looking for a performance head. Unfortunately the Edelbrock is out for obvious pricing reasons. My options are Titan, 505performace, and Odessa offers one as well. I really like the Titan as they list all the specs and build materials but it seems that reviews for them are hit and miss. Any input would be great or if you know of other heads that works too. Thanks

Looks like Odessa has a ton of bad reviews too, customer service and head failure really quickly.

So Odessa might be the one I go with. Emailed the company and the person said to give them a call and talk to their performance head builder. I am thinking about also upgrading the cam while I'm in there. Being a 2000 I'll have to change the thrust plate to a retaining bolt spring. No biggie. Probably gonna go with a lunati voodoo set if I decided to do it

The two cams I'm looking at are the lunati 250/256 or the 256/262. With the larger one I am going to need new springs. Being that I am going to do the new head that wouldn't be too much trouble. Just wondering if the 256/262 would be that much better than the 250/256 to warrant getting it and new springs. If anyone has any experience with cams for the 4.0 any help would be great.
