Default Heads for my setup questions

Current setup ( Not Installed )

-TR 230/236 .591/.601 112 + 4 lsa
-Patriot Dual gold extreme valvespring kit .660 capable
-Comp Cams Hi-Tech Pushrods 7.400
-Manley Double roller timing chain set
-Melling high volume oil pump (10296)
-Racetronix Fuel System Kit
-ASP 25% underdrive pulley

Was thinking about getting 243 heads with the sodium valves if I can find them and had some questions about them. I've searched and searched and there has been no concrete answer.

Here's my questions

When I do get the heads should I get them ported? If so to what extent? Should I get them milled? I really have no idea about any of this kind of stuff so any input would help greatly. And for what it's worth, I plan to get a Fast 90/90 or 92/92 ported setup after I get all this stuff. Just give me some suggestions on what to do please! Or even suggest different heads that aren't $24,000 per pair lol. Thanks!

If you haven't bought the heads, check out patriot. Their heads are great and and the prices are good. You could get an assembled set, and sell you dual golds on the for sale section
