You have 1170 then it is a 'j' style motor ?.
Gpz unitrac head with twin swirl combustion chamber (widely known as bathtub) is deemed to be the best. (And most sought after in racing circles)
These have a steeper valve angle to accomodate the fittment of bigger valves as std.
You will need to play with pistons etc to get correct compression ration as the combustion chambers have greater volume.
I would go for a 'J' head and have work done to that.
You will hardly tell the difference on the street.

Post pic's of the combustion chambers.
Will know instantly what head it is,
Apart from the unitrac (bathtub) all other 'J' style heads are more or less the same.
