Default Which heads suit me best?

I have an 02 Z-28 A-4. Mods are 232/236 Cam on 112 LSA, 90/90 Setup, UD Pulley, 42 Lbs Injectors, SS Yank 3600 Converter, Full Bolt-ons, and drag radials. Car is not a daily driver and I prefer to run race fuel in it when I do drive it. Thank you In advance.

how much power are you wanting to make?

what octane is "race fuel"?

what c/r do you want? sounds like you can afford good gas.

r u looking for a budget head, is money a big factor..?

I am looking to make the most possible power out of my ls1. As far as octane, i am not sure exactly, but it is in the 100's. Not sure on the compression ratio, that is why I am asking. I appreciate the reply however, and please feel free to offer up some advice. Thanks

ETP, probably the 215 cc, but call them and see what they reccomend. Best heads on the market from what I have seen.
