Default what heads for 441 LS7?

looking into some excellent heads for a 441 LS7. i am in the beggining stages of planning this build and am just trying to get a rough idea of what will go into this motor. im thinking AFR or tea maybe. i dont really know for sure which is why i am asking you fine folks. car is mostly street some strip and is only driven on nice days and mostly in the summer. so i want all the NA horsepower and torque i can get.

im shooting for around 11.5:1 compression. thats all i can think of at the moment. if u guys need more info to help me with my head choice then ket me know. thanks everyone

I plan to run a fast 102/102. Im willing to spend what I need to on them. Im not really sure what heads are going for these days so I dont have a price in mind

I have TFS 245s and Fast 102/102. Made 600/560 with the stock maf and air duct in a C5. Hope to pick up a little more with a larger intake and ls7 maf.

Doing the same as 02sslayer so I'm all ears on this one. Maybe the new Tfs ls3 heads are worth considering when more info comes out on them?

im thinking LS7, AFR or Trickflow. i want this build to be optmized, i want every thing to work as a team.

another thing, i dont have much of an idea of what this is gonna cost. ive kinda had 15K$ in my head for complete motor. id like to spend less if i can but if i have to go a couple grand more than my thought to make this a proper build then i will

You could also go with some AFR 245's. It would make the most top end power but it should make for some really good low/mid range torque.

My TF's 235's made good power with a 90/90 intake and 85mm maf even though the motor was pulling vacum. Thats the 550 512 number below this is with a smaller cam with just over 600 lift because I wanted a reliable topend. I am now going mafless, with a 102/102, a much better exhaust system and a GZ vacum pump should bump it up a bit.
