You might want to look into the PRC 225s as cast, they flow great and have more potential down the road for CNC porting. I think there around 1500-1600 range. But I am not sure if you are going the boost route with 317s.

If you are just looking for a stock reman head, Thompson Motorsports sells those. I've seen ads on ebay, even the 243 heads are only 599, not too bad considering most used 243's go for 4-500.

That's cool on the reman heads from Thompson for 599.
The 243s are worth 20HP over LS1 heads. But against the 317s, there isn't much difference - maybe 5HP due to increased compression; it's the same head.
The TSP Stage 1 would probably be up about 25-30HP over stock 243s. So you might see closer to 30+HP on an LQ9.
