If you have a 4.100" bore or larger then you should seriously look into a set of ported LS7 heads. They flow extremely well and when set up with the right cam it is possible to hit the 600rwhp mark in a 6spd car.

I agree with the above statment or you could get a set of ETP 245cnc or TEA TFS 235CNC heads for that bad boy, if money isn't an option of course.. As far as the cam goes I would have a cam guru like Allan Futral, Patrick G, ED Curtis, etc. just to name a few to customs spec you a cam for your requirments.

I was reading someone said that the bigger cc doesnn't always make more power necessarily so look into that before you get the 245's.

I would recommend going with the TFS 235cnc heads. I have the TFS 215cnc heads on my stock bottom end 346ci LS1 and have been able to dip into the 10's on a normal basis. Again good luck with your search man.

The 245's would work out extremely well....

Thats not too much head for that large an engine and they move some serious air.

The area under the curve is explosive.....over 290 CFM as early as .400 lift....its a serious piece.

PM or call should you have any questions....
