with aluminum heads on your current engine you would still be pump gas friendly, im sure you know but aluminum can go a full number or more over iron heads & still be ok on pump gas. the added flow of alum heads over stock heads & a good cam would be about the same HP as a stroker kit with stock heads but cheaper & easier to do than a full stroker rebuild. a factory crank is just as strong or stronger than a cast stroker crank. alum heads wont be 100% stock appearance but many guys have done a stealth look with aluminum heads by grinding off the name & painting them stock color blue.

i didnt take it as a jab at all, just wanted to state up front im far from an expert compared to some on here but have been dealing with pontiacs/firebirds & doing most of my own work on them for 30+ years. but i will leave it to others to provide more suggestions & knowledge on this.
