Talking 102 mm fast questions on how to cathedral port heads

Please help i have a 4.8 silverado 08 with a pretty big cam 3200 stall 243 heads lt full exhaust.
what should i port my 243's to if i plan on going with 102 mm from fast.
where can i get them ported i have an extra set out in the back with only 8k miles also i plan on getting a procharger and a better tune i am willing to get pretty big ports and i am also willing to get bigger pistons or anything as long as the 4.8 looks beefier and also has about 550 hp to the wheel :0 that would put a big smile on my face
i am near lubbock tx and midland od tx who does cathedral ports.
thank you ahead of time

You can just throw the 243's on, skip the FAST, and go straight for the pro charger.

it is a 595/605 lift with a duration of 295.295 pretty big but i dont want a turbo i think i want a procharger bc i am going to try and make higher end bettter not lower. i always have big diesels trying to race off of 60 and if i can pull a 10 at the truck with just a procharger and alot of other mods i would be happy with the look and i have all that extra space.

I'd talk to Richard at WCCH about your head options, they have real nice StageII CNC'd 243's that may be right up your alley
