Default how much are my heads worth?

i have a set of patriot stage 2 heads

heads specs are:
2.02"/1.57"/59cc

they have about 2K miles on em and absolutly nothing is wrong with them

if i sell them fully assem. what would i be able to get outta them...
Also if i sell them as a package with a Comp Cam 231/237 .585/.595 112 cam that put down 440+ RWHP then how much for the package?

The reason i ask is cause im thinkin about goin with a base style LS6 head cause i wanna go with a bigger cam...my current setip sounds/drives great but i want more of the "big" cam sound!

Used cam $200-$250

What heads are they 5.3's, LS6 style, LS6 243 castings?
What are they milled? 59cc is a small chamber if they are ls6's.

Used patriot heads have been showing up on the boards for $500-$600 lately.
TSP was even selling some NEW LS6 CNC'd heads for $800 about a month ago.

Just lower your idle and get a true dual dumped before axles.
There is your big cam sound.
Changing your setup just for sound is

my idle is set at about 550 already...it lopes pretty hard and i got a cut-out right befor the axle...would a true dual setup still be louder than a open cutout at the axle?
