need cylinder head advice

I have a 383 stroker ls1 i had built over summer. i didn't have enough money to buy heads cause i ran into a few problems i wasn't expecting. i'm looking at buying some heads and was wondering what was a good head for a decent price or would it be better to rebuild my 241's with 80,435 miles on them and do a port, polish and a valve job?

I would at least find some used 243s. If you have the coin have them CNC'd by Total Engine Airflow or Advanced Induction.

TEA makes some nice port jobs and has great flow numbers

I would also send them to Mr. Mamo. Buuuut, I would rather just get a set of AFR's that he has surgically mastered. Some port jobs cost as much as a set of budget CNC'd heads with hardware included in some cases.
