Default best valvetrain / head choice for this single turbo set-up........

I'm about to make a decision on whether to go FI or a big cube + spray engine.
I have an LSX iron block.

I know you don't need the best flowing heads possible for FI, so the All-Pro heads with crazy expensive parts I was going to use for the N/A + spray set-up would not be needed.

Whats a sufficient 6 bolt head for reliability for this:

422ci LSX iron block
Hogan sheet metal intake
98mm single turbo
25-28 psi

I think the Trick Flow 6 bolt 235cc heads are reasonably priced at $2550 assembled.

Talk with Brian Tooley at TEA, I'm using the TEA/TFS 245's for a simliar set-up-see signature. Then you need to decide if your going Solid Roller or Hydraulic. I'm Hydraulic still-kinda of a unique challenge for the power level I'm at but it looks good so far.

Whats the difference in price for those 245's your using....between hyd set-up and solid set-up.

I have no problem going solid.
