Default recommend heads for my set up

i currently have everything in my signature plus the ls6 intake. i am gonna add the ported tb and the crank pulley. which heads would be best for the mid size cam that i have?? i am thinking mti's stg 2, absolute speeds. i have no idea which direction to go and i dont want to get a stage 3 head for a small cam like mine. it would be stupid in my opinion. please, any input would be appreciated.

first of all this needs to be moved to the INTERNAL forum

I would go with some S2 5.3 Heads with your cam. Check out Texas Speed & Performance--->
