get the ls6 stage 1 heads with a torquer 3 cam,it will average better power then the ms4.the ms4 needs a big stall or a great clutch and gears.the ms4 will have a very close piston to valve clearence,and probably require piston fly cutting.bigger dose not make faster.

Both will do very well for you. I like the LS6 heads because they can be easily upgraded down the line if you decide to get crazy!
