Default 5.3 or LS6 Heads on Stock 346,What do you guys think?

I am still trying to decide if I want LS6 heads or 5.3 I am going to be on Stock 346 bottom end for quite some time.How much Power Difference is there really?I was told on Stock cubes that 5.3's make just about as much RWHP and RWTQ as LS6 Heads?Let me know what you Guys Think

If you go with a set of Absolute Speed 5.3 heads you will make great power on a 346.

Most people running 440-475 hp are running LS6 style. Im sure there are people out there doing that with 5.3's but if your running a big stick i would go LS6. If you drive it every day and run a 230 dur cam then 5.3's are fine. Its crazy to think a TR230 really isnt that big anymore.
