Stage 3 heads really aren't ideal for an LS1 short-block to start. The valves are too big and are shrouded on the relatively small bore.
The next issue, if you decided to run them shrouded like that, would piston to valve clearance. You will need to flycut the pistons FOR SURE with that camshaft and those heads!

Not sure if I'm just not conveying this well enough or what, but those Stage 3 heads SHOULD NOT be used on a standard LS1 bore. The valves are shrouded (too close to sleeves) on the small bore.

For a real tight budget, stock LS6 heads would be a good upgrade over the LS1's you have. Or, for a little more money the Stage 2.5 5.3's and MS3 would be a blast and knock down some great ET's (of course with the proper bolt-ons and suspension upgrades!) For a wider budget, the aftermarket castings, be it PRC or TFS, would be the best performance!
