which heads should i go with?

this is what I got so far.. complete d1sc one kit, 60lbs injectors, walbro 255 fuel pump, ls6 manifold, tsp 383 forged stroker kit, and epp blower cam. what heads do you guys think would be good for this set up? I need the best bang for the buck I am already running out of money to finish this.

What size pistons did you get? What is your desired compression ratio? Most people pick the heads first and desired compression ratio and then select the pistons to meet the desire compression ratio.

Cheapest thick deck heads would be the Darts and Trickflow as cast heads. The Trickflow heads require the use of roller rockers, so that adds $400-$500 to the cost. Not sure if the Darts require roller rockers.

sell the intake and buy a vic jr intake, then go buy a pair of l92's for 800 big ones or go really cheap and do the 317 6.0 heads. Good low budget head and can find them anywhere.
