Default What are my options?

I'm in a predicament now where I need to pull the heads off my LS1. The minimum I need to have done is a complete valve replacement for the 853 casting heads.

I've been debating if I should go with a CNC ported set instead, like PRC Stg 1 LS6 heads, or something of that nature. What I don't want to do is spend a ton of money upgrading my injectors, etc, again. If I go with new heads I know it is a good idea to swap to LS7 lifters.

The car is cammed with a EPS 226/230 .598”/.609” 111LSA.
36lb injectors,
PAC1518 springs,
7.425” chrome moly pushrods,
LS6 intake
Longtubes/Full 3" exhaust

If I were to swap to Stage 1 PRC LS6 heads, would I need to change any of this configuration, or could I re-use the springs, pushrods, and injectors that I already have on the car?

Any suggestions?

Thank you

Only thing you might need to change is your pushrods, and you really won't know till you bolt the heads on
