Default 408 owners -what heads & track times?

I'm unsure which heads to run... I have LS6heads, but I also have an L76/L92 combo. I want to hear TRACK TIMES from 408 owners who have one or the other.

My new motor is a 408 with Cartek ported LS6 heads. At 3310lbs raceweight it went 10.24 @ 129 with a 1.40 60' in a 98 TA.

Weber Racing also says to stick with cathedral ports since they're proven. I guess since I have both, I can try both. I think it would be awesome to have an engine making 500hp/500ft-lbs at 6k and not have to spin any higher since the L76 intake sucks above that anyway. That engine would last forever!

I have a 421 but still run a LS6 casting head. It makes about 730 on an engine dyno and I am hoping to run high 10s at full weight (a/c, power everything etc) on 17" DRs
