Default Help, will 243 casting head work w/my cam

Hey guys, I need ur input on this. I acquired a 03 zo6 243 casting heads & I like u guys to tell me if this cylinder heads will work with my cam. The cylinder head has a 3 angle valve job,dual coil manly spring capable of .0650 lift,seals,titanium retainers 1500 miles ago. I plan on porting the heads then install it on my 04 GTO A/T. Here is the mods to my car: comp cam xr 275 222/224,566/568,112 LSA. 2800 stall torque converter,stainless works off road headers,drag bags, slp rear sway bar,tune. 363 RWHP. I just started doing this & fairly new to this.
Since the springs on the head is capable of .0650 lift & the cam exhaust lift is 566/568, does this mean i am ok & there will no problem if i install this head on my car ? Does anyone know any good shop in Illinois I can have the head ported & get em checked out ?

With the cam you have and 2003 LS6 heads you are talking about with the springs youe are talking about I whould say with the lift 568,566 lift cam and not that much duration, I am assuming there stock and un decked (milled) I dont see any problem with that set up, I wouldn't be afraid to do it, I would go for it. Good Luck

Heads and cam will work fine, but the dual valve springs are way overkill. I'd expect about 400rwhp.

The springs came with the cylinder head assembled. I don't know if the heads were milled by previuos owner or not. Thanks for the input guys.

Can anyone recommend good shop who does the porting & have it checked out ?
