Default 2001 ws6 cam nitrous heads build

Hey guys I just purchased a 2001 white ws6 with 22k miles I recently have installed a ms4 comp cam with new push rods valve springs ect. I also installed a set of pacesetter headers with the matching ypipe and borla exhaust has a ls6 oil pump slp airlid and a nx wetshot system was also recently installed.I had a performance 460 le trans built with a
3800 yank stall. I need some oopinions on which gear I should go with 373s or 410s? Also the car has 241 heads if I wanted to swap to the 243s would I need all new supporting hardware or with all the valve springs ect still work? Or should I just buy a set of built ported and polished ls6 heads? Im new to the ls1 game all advice would be very much appreciated thanks!!!

You never mentioned on much you plan on spraying, but for overall purposes I'd choose the 3.73 with your setup

Its a 150 shot sorry I didnt mention that! How much power should this setup make roughly? Im really curious about the heads if I.should port my 241s or buy a set of 243s and have them done but I want to know if all of valve springs ect will still work in the 243s or if I should just buy a set of trick flows or something along those lines
