Thumbs up help me decide if these heads will work?

I am going to install a f13 cam ls6 intake w 42# injectors. I already have all supporting mods minus a pulley. I was wondering if i would benifit from the 243 casting from patriot ($865.00 assembled w stock valves)? What kind of gains would i see with and without those heads? I currently have a 3600 yank stall, pacesetter lt, with tsp catted y and GMMG exhaust. Will I be happy with the addition of the intake, injectors and heads. My goal is mid to low 11s (n/a) and mid to high tens on a 100-150 dry shot. Do you think this combo will get me to my target?

I think that it would definitely help you achieve your goal... + the fact that the price is right. 100% CNC'ed LS6 heads!
