Default the best cathedral port head

I am in the process of building a lsx 440 ci motor for my street rod. I am running cathedral port stack style fuel injection so I have to go with cathedral port heads. I am looking at trickflow 245s,airflow research 245s and texas speed 247s. Any body have a recommendation for this application or experience with this combo?

Get in touch with TEA and go with the TFS 245's, any of them will work fantastically though. I've just been really happy with my TFS 215s.

If you're willing, a Mamofied set of 245's would also be sick, but expect a wait time and to pay for it.

All Texas Speed PRC aftermarket casting cylinder heads are cast in the US. Call us with any questions or concerns you have.

The reason I'm asking is I don't think those would be quite as good on this car as the 235 TFS or AFR 230's because I assumed since he said street rod this would be a hydraulic cam and to get the most out of what those head offer (the 265s) you would really need a solid set-up. If you don't, I see no point in paying for the extra performance potential if you have no plan to use it.
