Default 245 vs 225 cc heads

Im building a 402 nitrous setup. How much of a dog will the car be on motor with the 245cc heads? I can get them for a steal ETP 245's heads for 1900. My orginal plan was to do TEA 225's.

What do you run on motor and spray? I know times will hurt because of nitrous gearing and a tight converter

Only one motor pass, that was a 6.58@107mph, 300 hit on progressive 5.76@124mph. Only 1/8 mile runs.
