Default What heads would you suggest for my setup?

I am thinking about adding heads to my 2000 Trans am before i have it dyno tuned in the spring. What ones would you guys reccomend?

my current mods are:
pacesetter LT
pacesetter ory
borla catback
thunder racing 231/237 112LSA (hardned push rods, titanium retainers etc)
SLP lid and ram air
FAST 90/90
upgraded T56, driveshaft and ford 9" and BMR suspension goodies

I was looking at AFR 205 heads but they are a bit pricey.. what would you guys suggest or what do you use? thanks

If your looking for power on a budget then Id say go with partriot stage 2 ls6 heads with 59cc chambers. Thats what Im using and I made decent power with them.

I would use the Livernois stage 2 heads if you are on a budget. They made better power in a cylinder head shoot out than some of the other aftermarket cylinder heads.
