Default Looking for head suggestions for LS1 with MS4 cam.

I would like to upgrade my heads and not sure what to purchase. I want to do it right the first time and not swap twice. The bottom end is stock. Currently running an MS4 cam (239/242 duration, .649/.609 lift, 112 LSA). The top end has TSP dual .650 lift valve springs, hardened stock length push rods, titanium locks and retainers. What heads would you recommend? The car is a weekend warrior and will probably not see much track time. Just a cruiser that has stupid power and sounds evil lol. I searched but haven't found the answer yet. Upcoming mods will be an LS6 valley cover, FAST 102 intake w/ billet rails and ss fuel lines, and a FAST 102 throttle body. I want to do these along with the heads since I'll be there already.

That just depends on how much you want to spend on those heads

If i had mine to do over again, I would get a set of heads of whatever and get a custom ground cam, thats an old cam shaft, you could go alot of different ways and make more power, just my two cents , Good Luck
