He's only using it for street duty. For a killer street setup look at TR's blower cam with LQ9 heads, either ported or stock castings. You'll still have a great street car and less stress on the pistons. It's not always about max power, on street blower setups smaller cams, and a small drop in compression from the LQ9's is more power than you think, and tuning doesn't have anything to do with the compression issues. Unless you're gonna run it way fat rich or no timing. With the LQ9's you got more room to run whatever cam within reason ,and still run a bit more timing which will retain your low end torque as well.
But Urban Legend has a point. The stock 241's flow almost 240 cfm with a small runner and 10.1 compression a nice blower cam it great for low worry street setups...Good luck with everything.

I just kept stock heads and intake and bottom end, besides a cam, and springs and pushrods- i have a 7.9 pound D1SC and it put down on a mustang dyno 543rwhp and 650 at the crank..

+1... dont give up the compression.... I dont see the point in changing the heads on a stock bottom end anyways, the blower and a cam will make more than enough power to destroy the stock rods and pistons.
I can thank Slowhawk for making 566rwhp out of a stock 98 longblock.... never even had the heads off the car
