Default best heads for a spec cam?

I currently have ported/milled to the max stock ls1 241 heads. My cam is a comp cam specs are 231/235 617/621 113+3LSA. I know if i get better flowing heads i will gain power but how much more power? Also would it be worth it, i understand that's the question i will have to decide but just want to hear what you guys/gals think. Any input would be greatly appreciated thank you.

No problem! Yes I agree with that, and for the extra money you could slap on a nice nitrous kit, and make another 100-150 hp
