Default Stock LS1 heads any good?

Is a ported stock LS1 head any good? Is it worth the money or should I just invest it into a 5.3 head? I would rather much have LS6 heads but they cost way to F'n much. I just want a Heads and Cam set up that will push 450rwhp and handle another 150 shot of N20 Can anyone suggest a set up that will accomplish this goal? I want my wheels to come off the ground!

where did this 450rwhp benchmark come from

as far as heads go with the 5.3's as you'll need the added compression.

**** man I just asked if the LS1 heads are any good. If I can get anywhere around 450rwhp I will be happy and quit dumping money into this money hole of a car. I just think it would be cool to own a car that can push mid 400 HP out the back wheels.
