3.0 Head Improvements?

I need to pull my heads to fix a burnt valve. Is a cam upgrade a good choice? What else is out there for heads for reasonable money?

Oversized valves would be the best bang for your buck. Port and polish too, if it's in the budget. Burnt valve huh? If you want to avoid burnt valves in the future, do youself a favor and get some headers.
