Default Head Debate??

I know i've seen a bunch of threads where ppl are asking which aftermarket heads are better and once again im in the same situation.. Even after reading all the other post its hard decision for me..

Current setup--
Forged flat top 347
228/230 .571/.573 112 comp cam
853 cnc ported and polished 202/160valves 3 angle valvejob
supposed to flow close to 300cfm
1.8 harlensharp rockers
Vic Jr intake 90mm TB

put down 390hp/393tq , Run low 8.0 consistantly in my 2000 silverado full weight..

I've been looking at TrickFlow's 215cc heads and was wondering where i would be sitting at or would these even be worth spending $2k on them for a 20hp increase??

I know some of you guys have already been down this road thats y i came here for advice

Thanks Ray

thats a nice combo, but if youre NA that vic jr is killing you, get a FAST 92 and see those numbers drop or even a TBSS intake would help wake that 346 up, jsut my opinion

Im Sraying a carb plate, and run it up to 7000 it runs good but like you said i know it can be better thats y i was looking into getting better heads. The vic is hurting me but research shows its like one of the better flowing intakes out and the intake runners are not much bigger that stock so my volume isn't to overkill.

I Figured i get better heads and everything would breath much better. and get more HP but idk if there worth the 2k over the heads i got now. I dont personaly now anyone thats ran them to say yay or na..
