Not the heads only but a combination of heads/intake. 241's can flow pretty good depending on who ported them. I'm stock cube with a big cam and trick flow heads. I lost a lot on top end cause of the ls6 intake. Not to mention it just fell off at about 6700 rpm. I have a FAST 90/92 now and its a big difference. Just my .02

is the car auto or manual? this will be a big factor on horsepower numbers as well. With your setup the ls6 will be robbing big numbers from your hp. The ls6 is a good intake for a cam only or a less aggressive head cam package not for your set up. That cam is going to want to breath and they only way to fully feed it is a fast setup. Those heads are questionable too. Why do you plan on putting the money into a 383 and not into a good pair of heads? Its doesnt make sense to me. What are your plans for this car?

With the tight work done to 241's they might fall 15hp below s high dollar head.....if you are looking at getting EVERY last bit of power at whatevet cost, then I could see spending the money on great heads.
You'd have to do a search on it, but there are some companies out there that offer a chopped ls6 intake with 90mm tb mount and larger throat, BBK has there aluminum intake that falls about 10hp short of the FAST....sometimes you can get a great deal on a used FAST when someone feels the need to go up to the 102mm. I just can't see paying $1,000 for a peice of plastic to spin the engine 2-300 rpm more.
Another option if you need a FAST is to get on EBay and find the three prices separate

How do you come up with stock cubes with a 4.00" crank?

well then, expect to break diff(now Q45 diff), subframe bushings(now solid), and if your running stock springs, and wide tires, the first time you get on it you might cut a tire, that's what has gone wrong so far with the 240, I also broke the clutch, broke the tranny (my fault) and fuel cell leaked fuel, but when everything's right that car is stupid fast and loads of fun, I ran the sikky 1 3/4 headers, x pipe, 3inch dual exhaust all the way back no cats through some borla xr-1 mufflers, good luck on yours

I would think you would be in the 430/440 rwhp range with that setup. Definitely some upside of matching a better intake with that combo.
Perhaps your leaving some power on the table with the 241 heads however it's tough to say anything with certainty without knowing what work was done to them.
