Default ET performace 240cc or 225cc heads?

I need some advice, I have a 402 LS2 being built by TSP right now and I dont know which heads to use the 240cc or the 225cc ET performance heads. The cam is a 248/254 .622/.614 114lsa and the car has an A4 with a 3200 stall and 3.73 gears. It also has the fast 90/90 setup and kooks 1 7/8 headers. The motor is being built to handle 300 shot and will have a progressive 200 for the track. The car is a full weight street car, so I do not want to give up low and mid power for peak hp. It will only see the track about 5 times a year. Hope this is enough info to give me the best advice. Also do think this will be a good cam for what Im looking for performace wise. Thanks in advance, Shane

Since that you're going with ETP heads, why don't you choose one of the new COMP LSK lobes which have higher lifts? I think this way you'll get the most out of those ET heads since their flow really shines at higher lifts
