I need 915 head advice

I built the 440 in my Runner like that. Ross flat top pistons (quench build), 915's lightly ported, 528 solid, stock six pack setup. It ran nice, I never took it to the track but it was fairly strong (likely 110MPH in the 1/4). 3.54 gears and a 4 speed.
It was a good street combo and I would do it again except I would use aluminum heads (TF240's) this time.
The 528 is good, probably 2000-5500 is it's best range, idle is a bit boring. My wife could drive it with no issue.

Funny that's exactly what our buddy had, a 72 gtx 4spd same type of setup but a mechanical 6 pack. I'd never worked on one but set it up and next thing you know he's running 110 lol. The stories live on
 
The .528 is a great street cam even in a low compression 440, I imagine yours might be good. Summit is incorrect on the rpm range. It's a smaller cam than a hyd 292 509. I'm wondering if it's a 4 spd?
No. 727.
Would love a 4-speed but not in budget right now.
