Aluminum heads $ per HP?

Thanks all for your input! If/when I spend that kind of money,I want it to be an educated purchase not a "guess this will work".
There are some really good circle track articles and engine builder online I highly recommend people search and read, read, and read some more.

I miss reading those magazines(my wife would bring them home from work for me when she worked at TEN). Which of those are still being printed? And which articles do you recommend reading?
