Default Which heads for my setup?

I looking for input on which heads would work best with my setup. Currently have this cam 227°/231° on a 113° lobe separation with 0.613"/0.617" lift, LT headers, full exhaust, Fast 78, and vararam. I was looking at TSP Stage 1.0 or 2.5 LS6 heads but I'm not sure which one yet. I am open to other choices as well. Any ideas?

I have the prc 2.5, eps 226/230 112+4 and a fast 78 and love it, but I havent had any other heads.

Do you have any numbers with those heads? How happy are you with them?

I had a bigger cam but made some pretty good numbers on the stage 1 LS6's from TSP. I would still be running them but stepping up to 227's

What's your story with TEA head ?

Each time i get in a Heads thread you always mention TEA , could you tell us more about these heads , any dyno charts or 1/4 mile times .

Which stage is better with 346 ci ?

I see the stage 2 has the best flow numbers I’ve ever seen on ported 243s but the 2.04 intake is kind of problem .

What do you think ?
