Default Help me pick my heads.

So I'm getting ready to start the assembly of my motor. Just have to buy heads and studs. Tax time will be bringing a F1a Procharger and the block is being built for that. I was thinking about going with TF as cast 220's, but am wondering if I'm maybe over killing the heads. I plan on using my ls6 intake to to achieve my goal, but if I can't I'll upgrade to a 102. Either way, basically what I want to know is could I go with a cheaper head and still pull off 900whp? I'd be happy with 8xx, but would like to see 9xx.

maybe consider a BBK or weiand/holley alum intake.I don't think you can over do it with heads with the power level you want.get a custom cam to maximize you combo.check the boosted section for more info.
