Budget Heads suggestions

Budget Heads suggestions I'm starting to look at LS6 or 5.3 heads. LS6's flow better than what I have now (stock LS1) and the 5.3's increase? compression to result in more hp. What kind of things should I consider in deciding between these heads? I might get a decent shot of nitrous in the future. Are the 5.3's not good for nitrous/turbo/superchargers? I'm planning on doing some home porting and possibly a valve job too btw.
How much more hp would I be leaving on the table by just porting my stock LS1 heads?
Any suggestions as far as what route to take while on a budget? Other than the sales section of this site, where is a place I can get a set of LS6 or 5.3's for cheap and what do I need to look out for when buying these used? Thanks!

Dart heads might be the answer for you, Aftermarket, not redone OEM heads. Attractive pricing & alot of value for the $$ spent. Titanium retainers, bronze guides, etc.

well damn what happened to getting some cheap LS6 heads? I was interested in seeing what people said for budget heads but it seems all the replies are just venders trying to push their product.
