Default Spec me some heads

in a couple months im looking at doing something head wise for my SS. im looking at all possible options. full bolt on LQ9 with a yank 3600SS,a TBSS intake swap, and a 224/228 .581 .598 I would like a ported head but want to get as most I can out of my setup without switching cams again. Or converters. Must stay cathedral port. I am not opposed to raising the compression as long as I can run pump gas without detonation. Spec me a bad *** setup!

no real budget. If I have to save up some more then Ill do it. I just want something pretty bad *** that will work with what I already have. I would love to touch 12.50's if possible N/A. Id like to have as light as possible valve-train and if I have to swap cams then I will. But I do not want to switch converters and feel that the cam I have is capable with the right heads. I do not want to switch intakes either. I surely think the TFS 225's are a great option. I wanted to see if there were other options out there to fulfill my goals. Of course everyone wants to do it as cheap as possible but I feel heads are something you get what you pay for.

thats good news. If you were to buy a brand new set of the cncd tfs 225's would you get them bare and choose your own valvetrain or pick up the assembled ones?
