Run the 799s if u can get em cheap. Lower compression and better flow is always good on a turbo build

I will be using milled 799's, got a new pair for $460 shipped, plus milling work at WCCH to get back to 9.5 SCR.

But if your power goals are modest, stock 862's are fine.

Try to get 799s. Also im running milled 317s and happy with them you can find them cheap for the power gains! certainly worth the money imo

799's or 243's would be perfect on a budget.

You mean 806? I've never heard of 805. I think 806 are the perimeter bolt heads found on '98 f-bodies. Not very desirable and are a negligible improvement over stock 5.3 heads, would need to be milled also for stock compression.
