Default stock shortblock lq9 build, prc ls6 2.5 head or ?

hey y'all last year i poped my ls1 and now plan on putting in a stock bottom end lq9, i currently have prc ls6 2.5 heads on my ls1 and wanted to get your opinions if i should run theses head on my lq9 or get sumthing different? i also have jesel rocker shafts on these heads so i dont want a head that will not accept my valvetrain, also this is in a 98 transam, its going to be a auto th400 has a 9'' with 4:10s and ditching the fuel injection and goin carburated, and a good weight reduction, looking for mid to low 10's on motor that hitting her with 150-250 shot down the road, any info would be great thanks y'all, matt

You could checkout the PRC 227 or 237 heads depending on what compression your looking to go for.

keep your heads. theyre good and will work well with the lq9. cheaper to go with what you got. that lq9 is gonna be torquey and make real good power. hit up pat g, geoff at eps or ed curtis at flowtech for a custom cam grind instead.
