I wouldn't bother with the 241 heads they flow just as much as your 806.
If anything get the 243 heads they have better combustion chamber design, and slightly bigger intake and D-shape exhaust ports, but you will need to get center bolt valve covers with coil brakets.
Hope this helps.

Found ya some heads if you are looking for some 243's, these look slightly ported as well, not a bad price.

If you plan on doing heads, best to go ahead and replace the lifters and lifter cups. Why not do a cam swap too since you'll have it all apart, take some time, build up your parts, it will pay-off for you in the long run.

Agreed. Unless you've already got a really good cam, there's no since in doing a head swap and then pulling your car back apart later to do a cam. Plus, with the heads off its much easier to change the valve springs.
