Default what heads you running with the 228r?

ive been reading and reading on heads on this site but still not quite up to snuff with how to select heads to match with a cam. my car will be somewhat a daily driver in the warmer months of the year. im looking for around 410-440 ish hp range. so any advice on a decent set of heads to match for this cam would be great. thnx!

im pretty sure people usually match that cam with ported 243s or ported 5.3s

if you have the $$ a set of afr 205s would sure run nice

Had a car leave here a few weeks back making right at 440 to the tire with the PRC Stage 2.5 LS6 heads. I personally would consider the PRC 2.5 LS6 heads, or maybe the PRC 215 heads if funds allow. They 215s will cost right at $2000, but you get a aftermarket casting head with thicker decks, & awesome chamber/port design that wasn't limited to a what fits in a factory casting.

Also dont forget you can get cheaper prices than on the site if you use your existing spring kit!!!
