Default Heads best for this ap

To maintain a streetable ride I was going lt's, td's, and a tr 224/244 112 or 114 lsa. What would be the best heads I could buy for this set up, keep in mind I want a very streetable car that isnt in high rpms when cruising @ 60+

For best street manners and throttle response, you want a head with very high flow and small cross sectional area. Think high air speed. The AFR 205s are consistently top performers in this area and are highly recommended. If those are too much, then a CNC ported 5.3L head would still have a fairly small runner with good airspeed. The ported LS6 heads, while good flowing, are a little bit on the big side from a port volume standpoint and won't give you the snappy throttle like the AFR 205s or some of the 5.3s.
