Default AFR 205 or Ported 6.0

What heads do you think will perform better? Combo will be S88 turbo forged 348ci with stock AFR 205's or ported 6.0's? Thanks for any input.

What size motor? I went with the AFR 205's and don't regret that decision.

6.0l or the AFR 225s w/ a 72cc combustion chamber.

Either of these will drop your compression ratio, opposed to the 205cc AFRS.

Of your choices, I would go with the AFR 205's for the thicker deck.

Thanks for the replies.
The Afr would be off a car that was N/A and have the smaller chamber but I think I could make up for that with more dish in the piston. The main reason I am asking is I have heard that the size of the port is more important than the actual flow numbers when dealing with forced induction. In this case the 6.0 would have a larger port. OTOH I like the thicker deck of the AFR's as PSJ pointed out. I will be running high boost. Motor will be 348ci.
Has anyone ran both on a 346?

Hmmm.

1) Boost measures restriction, so the bigger the valve the better right?
2) If I was going for 700-900rwhp I'd go with the thicker deck heads to minimize the heads lifting under boost.
3) Do the 6.0's blow as good as the AFR 205's?
