Default Which Heads

Hi Guys,
I have a set of stage 2 Dart heads on order from Texas Speed to go on my Vette, I want to make sure I've made the right decision. With my current mods which head do you think i should go with to make the most power. I drive on the street most of the time but just around town, I would rather not get into flycutting the pistons if i don't have to.
What do you guys think of the LS6 Stage 2.5 heads from Texas Speed instead of the Darts?
Thanks
John

You shouldn't have any problems with P/V clearance with the Dart heads, as opposed to the 5.3s. I'd stick with the original plan with your cam on 114, and the Darts, unless you're getting them milled. On a side note, those Stg.2 Darts look like a performance bargain, but there's not enough guys using them yet to get alot of results reported back.

Thanks for the reply, I'm just getting itchy to get them on my car. What do you think of the 225's out of the box with a little touch up work? From what i understand after the 205's are CNC'd the runner goes to 237 cc. I'm thinking with the 225's I'll maintain more velocity for the lower end of my cam.
