Default LS6 heads, worth it?

I have the opportunity to buy a set of LS6 heads off my friends TA which were originally off of a 2004 GTO. With my current setup (231.237 112 lsa cam, FAST 90, full exhaust etc) would it be worth putting them on as is? about how much power would i pick up?

You said originally off an 04 GTO? Is this meaning they were the original heads on that car? Because if so the 04 GTO's had a 241 casting which is not an LS6 head.

If they are 243 castings, yes you stand to gain about 20 rwhp with them.
