Default Need help choosing heads for my procharged setup

as some of you may know i ran into some complications with getting my ls6 heads ported and now need another company to do them for me but before i do that, i decided to do some quick number crunching and wanted to see if i can get something better to suit my needs. if i decided to have my existing heads ported ill be into them for roughly 2k. now i know with my setup even with the ls6 heads ported they will still be the restriction overall. so can anyone point me to some really good off the shelf heads that would outperform ported ls6s? heres my setup to help me reach my goals

built lq9
F1A 16+psi

??? heads

Trick flows are pretty good bang for the buck, look for a nice thick deck

TFS as cast 220cc heads hand worked by Brian Tooley. Less than $2,000 and according to Brian, they are just as good as TFS 215cc heads. Powdered guides will also allow you to use stock rockers.
