Default Need help choosing heads for AES 390ci

I'm torn on which cylinder heads to run on an AES 390ci shortblock. I have a set of TEA/TFS 215 heads milled to 60cc from my H/C/I LS1 setup that I could use. However, I feel they are more optimized for a stock cubic inch LS1. I was also looking at the PRC 237cc heads from TSP.

What heads should I run? Car will be running an F1A or F1D blower around 800rwhp. I'll be running it N/A for a few months until I get the funds for the blower.

The 60 cc head will put you around 10.4:1 CR Not sure if you want to be that high for boost. Talk to slowhawk and see what he is comfortable with.

I will say that my car only have a 205 AFR head on my AES 385

I'll be spraying a LOT of water meth so 10.4:1 SCR might be ok. Then I could always have a cam spec'd out to lower DCR. What compression are you running?

The AES 390 will have diamond pistons. Haven't decided on dish yet.

I thought they only have a -15 cc piston for the 390 and -13 cc piston for the 385. My motor is 10:1

I'll have to double check but I thought Brian from AES told me I could use a custom Diamond piston to give me any dish I wanted. I'll have to double check I guess.
