Default Head / Engine Swap

Had a bit of fun on the weekend.

Pulled the entire top end of my motor out so that i can spray everything under the hood, intake, exhaust, p/steering, coolant resevoir, everything and now am faced with a problem.

I have only had the Intech6 for about 9 months, but 2 years ago Ford had a sale on surplas Series II XR6 Engines, and i bought one.

The question is does anyone think I should swap my standard intech head for the XR one while it is apart? Been told possible advantages in torque and hp because of a better ported, higher flowing head, and slightly higher duration cam. On another subject i picked up my XR8 CAI snorkel from ford for $47 and it IS DIFFERENT to the XR6 one. Will post pictures of all this if asked too.

Anyway what does everyone think i should do? The XR6 motor is brand new and only been run in on the bench?
Also i'm going to have some money soon and don't know whether i should do Cam or Flash tuner? Of course if i swap the head over there is no point in doing cam?

Help somone plzzzzzzzz........................
