Default head ? before I put it back on the road

Might have some money free up in the next month, so I've been kicking around some extra HP ideas.
This is my setup:
02 stock ls6 shortbock (25K miles)
alum. 317 heads w/ 918s (ALL NEW and unported)
Vic jr w/ elbow
4k stall
T61 turbo

This is a truck manifold setup, 7.5 psi max; more street than strip right now. I'm upping the turbo to a T76mps. Should I go ahead and get some AFR's, been looking at the 205 76cc and the 225 72cc or should I just stick with the 317's? In the next yr. I'll be getting a forged 370-383.

If you are going to stick to 7.5 max psi for now, then I'd just leave the heads the way they are for now. When you up the cubes and up the boost, then I'd go for the AFR heads, cc depending on cubic inch at that time. Bob
