Aluminum heads that equal EQs for power?

I plan on keeping the hood , so if i want weight reduction up front i have limited options. I was hoping there would be some cheaper versions available bare. Ebroc k s are 1560 a pair bare, not worth it for what i am wanting to do. I agree on the stickier tires. I could at some point mini tube it, since i have already moved in the springs.
Chassis FIRST ! BEST BANG ,FOR THE BUCK!!!!!!!!!!!
