Default 04 Silverado going boost

Well I bought this 4 door from a buddy of mine. It already came pretty quick, had a 6.2 l99 fbo heads cam, I ended up adding a built 4l80 and triple disk 3600 turbo stall and made around 425hp to the wheel. But of course I wanted more so decided to take out the ole l99 and went with a lq9. Adding a btr stage 2 single turbo cam with dual springs, added Johnson lifters, Melling oil pump, dual timing chain, 210# injectors, 90mm Tb, dual 450 pumps, Holley 92mm hi ram intake, Holley 8an 8an 6an regulator, 80mm vs racing billet turbo, 44mm bov and wastegate. Going to run a tru boost controller from aem, a/f gauge and fuel pressure gauge also from aem. Will be posting pics as I go.

Looks like a clean truck to start with. What's happening to the 6.2?

Well going a different route with the heads, found out these dart heads are milled .50, so way to much for boost, so want to ask should I go 706 or 317 heads? I have 706 heads here, but heard 317s are better?

My truck has the 706's on them. I say it you already have them, run them. The 706's have been shown to be very comparable to the 243's, but I guess if you're looking to drop c/r then the 317's.
