New heads?

I have a 2000 F-150 5.4, I am hearing rattle in my right cylinder head when I start my truck then it goes away. I have 130k on it and I tow a 4500lb boat. I also have a right side exhaust manifold leak. I have the Hypertech programmer and flowmaster exhaust with K&N air filter and if I change heads then I am going to go ahead and do the cold air intake. So I am thinking of replacing heads and manifolds at the same time any recommendations on type or brand that would give me more power? By the way will the new 5.4L heads fit on this block?

Welcome to the forum

Is the rattle you hear just the leaking manifold? They can tick pretty loud.

Save the money you are going to spend on a FIPK and fix the exhaust manifold. Those cold air intakes only work good on a deisel engine.
