Default Looking for a decent head/cam package

I need help.
I am looking for a head/cam package that will provide max power/torque, not cost me an arm and leg and be very streetable (daily driver). I don't plan on doing anything to the engine afterwords.
The package would also need to marry up nicely with an Procharger D-1SC (8+ psi)
So far I found a couple of packages but all seem a bit pricy.
Inputs?

It's for a 2002 Camaro SS (w/ 345 hp dcme package)
Light mods include:
Elite 9mm wires
Bosch plugs
160* stat
m trans
slp cai
Whisper lid
Holly powershot filter
ported maf
slp bellows
ported tb
Jet Hot LTs ORY(no cats)
Dynomax internediate and ova pipes
Predator tuned


I was looking at 205cc LS1 Mongoose Street Head for the heads but would like something simular at half the price of $2500.

Inputs?

If you going to get a blower in the future you are going want a low compression head. You could look at the afr's 225. I got my lq9/6.0L heads from MTI with my cam for $2100, Verry pleased with the product and customer service. Give a few sponsors a call for some more options( texas speed, TEA, patriot, theres more too.) Also if your doing the blower it wont be the last thing you do to the engine.

The stock bottomend won't last forever at that power level (8+psi).

After the new H/C dont push the bottom end too far you also dont want to send a pistion into your brand new heads.
