Default 5.3 or 6.0 243 heads on a cammed LS1

I'm trying to decide on which route to go with. I'm running a Thunder Racing TRaK cam, Fast 90, NW 90, Comp 921s, LTs, ORY, TCI 3800....etc..

I'm trying to decide which setup will be the best overall. I don't want to do any milling of the heads - I need to watch the P2V clearances with that cam. Do I increase CR or do I increase airflow? What will complement the 90/90 setup the best?

I plan to keep it N/A for now - maybe some nitrous in the near future. I just feel that the stock LS1 heads are holding me back.

Bring on some advice!

Thanks!

how will you increase the compression when you cant really safely mill the heads or get a thinner head gasket because of P2V? I was looking at this setup with 243's for the last few weeks but changed my mind on the Trak cam and to get somtihn a little more torquey (futral F14).
