Default What heads and cam should I buy?

I have a 2002 t/a ws6 and I was wondering if anyone can help me out on what size heads and cam I should buy. I was going to buy a comp cam 224/224 .581 lift?

Good sized cam! Not too much and not to little. Heads should be matched with cam. You might want to find out where you want this build-up to take you on down the road. Lots of choices out there as far as heads go -- AFR, TEA, PRC, PP.
Are you planning on staying N/A or going FI?

you need to do some research first. the question you are asking is like asking "whats the best car in the world?"

You need to learn whats cam duration, lift and LSA, idle characteristics, compression, CFM flow, how much to mill, all kinds of stuff.

Best of all you ned to know what you want your car to do first before deciding on h/c setup.

anyone can easily tell you to get the G5X4 cam on a 110lsa with AFR 205s, FAST 90/90. 7 grand later you ask yourself, what did i do to my car? i cant pass emissions, car shakes at idle ...etcetc,
