Question Need Help choosing Heads

Okay I have been doing a lot of research on three different Ls6 heads to complete my engine. Patriot Ls6, TSP stage 2.5 ls6, and TEA stage 2 Ls6 243s so I need is help deciding which heads would give me the best hp & tq gains. I heard good things about all three heads. I'm aiming for 430-450 wrhp before adding nitrous and changing over to the fast 90 setup. This is what I have so far a 98 t/a A4 with ls6 intake, lid, Lts, ORY, 3600 yank, ported tb, xer cam (232/236 .595 .602) and stock bottom end. So what are you guys suggesting?

I would look at Trick Flow 215s or Trick Flow 220 as cast from Total Engine Airflow, or have TEA or Advanced Induction port a set of 243s.

Thanks to everyone for your opinion. @ silverstreak98maro Thanks for that info that really helped. After reviewing everyone opinion, I spoke with Aaron from tsp and he was very helpful, and very patient with me. He answered every question I had and was very knowledgeable of their product. He took my information and told me what I needed for best results and my application. So My final decision is TSP stage 2.5 ls6 heads. @ Aaron Thanks again for your help, I look forward in speaking with you again to place my order.
