I would go with some AFR 210's or Trick Flow 215's and sell your LS6 heads.

Honestly, I would save for a good set of heads and just pulley down a bit for more boost, spray the meth, and re-tune. Your LS6 heads flow fairly well and you may be able to get 30-40 hp out of a set of ported LS6's but that is a lot of work for that hp gain in my opinion. I would just add more boost.

run some methanol injection and turn up the boost. Ported heads will give you 30-40hp more..... but you can achieve that by simply running a few more pounds of boost and pocket the $1500 in parts you will spend on ported heads/new head bolts/gaskets etc.

I assume you have long tube headers already.....

If you are going to get heads pull the trigger on some ones with thick decks if you have the $$$.

Check PRC 6.0 heads 72cc it will lower the compression a little bit so you can run more boost with meth..
