Default help me decide..

here is my situation....i have a decent set-up as of now, but im just not the kind to keep things the same for to long...SO im lookin to change my head/cam set-up

AS OF NOW:
comp 231/237 .585/.595 112
Patriot Stage 2 2.02/1.57 (59)cc

heres what im thinking, tell me what u think...

mainly thinking of goin with.
TSP ported LS6 heads/TRex...seen this combo make over 450RWHP with a 12 bolt in a 6 spd...

Gave this a thought as well...
Ported stock heads/TREX...cause this might save a lil money...

Lets see here ill start at the front and work myself back

Lid, TByrne MAF, Ported/polished TB, LS6 intake, comp 231/237 .585/.595 112, patriot stage 2 LS6 heads 2.02/1.57 59(cc) heads, Pacesetter LT, TSP catted Y, SLP LM2 Exhaust with E- cutout, stock 3.42 gears kept the gears to make it a Street/interstate beast but changing to 4.10's even if i keep the same set-up i have now...

these mods were done when i got the car so not really sure of the Exact numbers but i know the RWHP was in the 440's and the RWTQ was over 400....

track bests in the 1/8th mile are low 7.4's @ 96 MPH with 1.8 60's
