Which heads should I choose

So far my mods are

Ls6 intake manifold
Slp lid
224/224 .563 114 cam
Bbk LTs with 3" exhaust
4.10s

I'm wanting to produce the most power with this current cam. I been looking at either a set of patriot stage 2 243s 59cc heads or the prc 215s from Texas speed..

Which sounds like it would be better ?

The PRC 215's, on paper, would be a better head. I've just never been a patriot fan, personally. I've never seen a set of PRC's disappoint. With good heads and higher compression, you sure could step up the cam. Even a 228R would be really tame...

Between the two, I'd pick the PRC heads too.
