Post should I rebuild my head

I'm going to change my timing chain out in the next week or so. I'm wondering if while I'm in there I should just go ahead and change the cam and have the head rebuilt. I've got about 180k miles on th runner now. Any opinions?

My opinion is wait another 100K miles at least before you bother tearing into it.

If you do you could get it ported and polished to get a few more ponies and throw in a high performance cam while your at it. I don't know where you would go about doing that, but its always nice to do some mods while your in there.

I've got an LC Street Performer head and I'm pretty happy w/ it. You might want to look at www.engnbldr.com too. Heard nothing but good things about him and his Toy cylinder head prices are pretty good.
