Default Budget head upgrade, need HELP

Ok so here is where im at now. ls2 427 with stage III ported & polished ls1 241 casting head with 2.000 intake valve and 1.80 exhaust valve. with all other supporting internals(springs retainers ect.) Im ready to upgrade but not looking to break the bank for a set of 2K plus head. Are there any stock casting heads that would fit the bill but get me more. I want to stay with the cathedral port family(not wanting to switch my 102) Is this dueable or a waste of time? any other info that would be needed to help please ask.

AFR's are sick heads but not really geared toward the budget racer. See if Patriot or PRC have what you need they are both decently priced

I see alot of guys on here doing budget builds using stock castings making really good power. There has to be a step up from the 241 head.? Im just trying to gather info

Used aftermarket heads like AFR/TFS/PI or look at AI or TEA 243/799's IMO.....
