Default which heads are better overall?

TSP stage 2 ls6 heads or TEA stage 2 ls6 heads? Torque and power wise which heads are better for a low 230 duration cam? Car is going to have a 3600 stall and used more on the street.

Not a big fan of TSP(thanks to matt) but them and TEA and Livernois are about the best for any budget.

BTW the 5.3 up to the 2.5 would be better, or LS6 stage 1-1.5 for a cam that duration.

Please don't punish the rest of TSP because of a bad experience with Matt. Jason works his *** off to produce the PRC line of heads.
