Default Suggestion of heads for turbo build

I am just starting my turbo build. I am going with a LQ4 370 and was woundering if anyone has used the Pro Comp heads? I read a article that tested AFR, Trick Flow, and many other LS based heads and the Pro comps blew them out the water. Anyone have any experience with these heads or could recommend a good set of heads for my build..... $$ isn't a big issue!

Thanks

good question, i saw that same article. the procomps ended up making alot more power than the name brand heads. i've used a set of bbc procomp heads on a 13.5 to 1 505bbc with a 450hp 2stage shot and never had any issue outta em, altho i bought em bare and built em myself.im waiting on some real world reviews on the ls heads before considering them as a option
