Default Heads for around 1000-1500?

I have been looking and see that Patriot has their's for 1095 but I have searched and a lot of people like PRC's. PRC has the 5.3 stage 2.5's for 1200 or so and the LS6 with stock valves or the PRC stage 2 Dart heads. I have a relative small cam 227/227 .564 right now but might go bigger. Which set of heads would you guys get if a grand was burning a hole in your pocket?

That's the Dart head? or just the PRC Ls6 head for $999? I haven't seen a S2 LS6 on Texas speed website.

I have a set of bad *** l1s stage 2 full port and polish heads from west coast racing heads. you can check them out they are a sponsor on here and do really good work. I just had them freshened up and new valve springs retainers and locks were put on these heads gave me 35rwhp over my old stockers.I will let them go for $1000.00 shipped.

Im gonna say the patriot stage 2 ls6 style heads for 1100 are going to be the best bang for the buck. The PRCs are also great heads, but I dont think youll gain much if anything from the patriots, and plus gunnar really stands behind his product. The boys from TSP do stand behind the PRC heads, but gunnar from patriot constantly goes the extra mile and then some.
