More Horse Power Question?
Ok... What is the best and cheapest way to get more horse power out of my 5.8L 351W? I am wondering if i should just put on 352C heads for a lil bit higher compression or put in new cam,lifters, and rocker arms? what do you guys think would be the best for my bucks???

What are you looking to do? What do you consider cheap? How much HP do you want?
Easiest and least expensive are things like K&N air filters, Cold air intakes, headers & exhaust, etc. They also give the minimal gains, but should be done if any major engine change is going to be done to allow the engine to breath better.
More expensive are things like heads, cams, intakes, etc. These are more difficult to do, but give higher HP gains.
Another thing you can do is change the gears in your differential. It doesn't change your HP, but it gives the feeling that it has more power.
