Default Aftermarket Heads for 1UZFE?

After taking apart my sc400 I found one of the valves was bent. Pretty sure a friend of the previous owner overreved the car to clear some carbon build up and caused it. Anyways I'm going to be rebuild the head, but then I was wondering if there were an alternative I could put on that makes this motor run better without breaking the bank, and having to get crazy with cams, fuel,connecting rods and etc?

If you want performance your gonna have to break the bank on the heads like, bigger valves and cams etc. I don't think there is an aftermarket head you can buy. you can get a p&p done.

I dont think there are other heads that work for that motor either. You would be better off just putting an OEM one back on..if you're not looking to break the bank.

1uzfe head work is expensive if you go aftermarket parts. Keeping stock parts, if you do a 3 way valve job on stock valves and you do a Port and Polish, you could get some decent results for around $500 or less. Other than that.... $$$$$!!!!!
