Default Best factory ported head for 370"

I'm building a 370" 6.0 engine for drag racing with a carb and I need some cylinder head advice. I'm looking for the best factory cylinder head for this application, heads will get ported with larger valves.

Car is a 3000lb f-body

lq9, 853's or 5.3 or ??

I have edelbrock vic intake coming for it.

thanks,
Tom

I think right out of the box L92s flow 330cfm which is big time for stock or even ported heads.Price is right to.Do a search on google.
Good luck.

Would a stage 2.5 5.3 head not work well on a 370?
