Default Whats heads for lsx 427

Building a LSX 427 with an F-2 procharger. Wondering what you guys would recommend for a good set of heads to use with this build. Will be seeing 20+ psi on my weekend warrior (street mostly). I was thinking of using TFS 245's

All-Pro if they are in your budget if not the Mast or TFS will do the trick.

Why All pro? I always hear such good things about TFS. I wouldn't think there'd be much of a gain going from TFS to All Pro or Mast

TFS doesn't hold a candle to an All-Pro

RHS Pro Elite LS7 heads. Talk with Chris Frank. He has a CNC port program for them.

I went prc 250 ls3 on my 427 twin turbo ride and they work great .. 6 bolt design and all is good!!!! To me its personal preference!!!!! Everyone wants to run what others are running but you buy what's going to make you happy and with forced induction you don't really need s ton of head or spend a ton of money on a name brand for the same potential power!!!!!!

TFS 245's with the nitrous exhaust port option.... Sourced through TEA or one of their dealers such as myself would be a great option if you are looking to stay under 4 grand for a set of heads. The exhaust port on that head is probably one of the best out there.

Has anyone done a back to back comparison with an All Pro and TFS head to quantify the claims that the All Pro is X better?
