Default Which heads to use?

Alright not sure if you guys seen my thread in which i was trying to figure out what heads i have but i finally got them flowed and now i gotta decide which set to use. I currently have 241 one heads with stock springs and will probably be going with a T2 cam. So which ones?

243 heads with comp springs good to .600 lift or:

Think there patriots:
227cc intake
85cc exhaust
2.02 intake valves
1.57 exhaust
65cc chamber
10 degree locks
145lbs @1.785
365lbs @1.185
Intake cfm Exhaust cfm
.100 69 49
.200 140 106
.300 200 144
.400 251 179
.500 281 200
.600 266? (seems odd) 213

I will have the rest of the specs tomorrow when i pick up the heads. But im not sure which are better as i do not know what the specs are on a 243 head.

The Patriots are ported so theoretically, they should be better than stock 243s.

Don't forget the PRC LS6 heads. They are priced very comparable, but from there you'll find some big differences. In a perfect world you could hold & flow both brands side by side. With the PRC LS6 heads we fully cnc port the heads & do a cnc valve job with a newen seat & guide machine. From there we hand blend every set of heads & then mill the cylinder heads specifically for the customers combination & camshaft for no additional charge.

Every set of cylinder heads are fully pressure checked including the ports to make 1000% sure the valve jobs seal perfectly for our customers!

It may take us a little extra time to build the PRC cylinder head, but the attention to detail pays off in the long run for our customers!

If you click on the Advanced Inductions link on the right and navigate through
the stock 243s are around 260/190 cfm stock..but they show all liftpoints.
