Yes, those are a very good head choice for the Torquer V3. You don't mention an intake swap in your mod list. If you are still using the stock LS1 piece I would seriously consider upgrading to an LS6.

For the money the PRC LS6 Stage 2.5 heads are really hard to beat. If your wanting aftermarket castings the PRC 215s are a great option. We're also working on a new larger runner 3.900 bore LS head that flows some really big air & clears with the Torquer 3.

I will be doing engine dyno testing of these heads compared to a few competitors heads. If you'd like to come down for the testing let me know.
