Default Nitrous or heads? And what heads?

My current mods are (EDIT: not) in my sig. I'm looking at either a 125 shot (don't know wet or dry, that's a question for later) or a set of heads. I was thinking about the 200cc Terminator's from TSP. Any other suggestions on heads to go with this cam would be appreciated. Thanks.

Mods are: Pacesetter coated headers, TSP catted Y, Corsa cat back, Fast 90 intake manifold /NW 90 throttle body, Granatelli 85mm MAF, Meizere EWP, Powerbond underdrive pulley, K&N FIPK, 160* thermostat, Torquer V.3 231/234 .643/.598 111LSA, chromoly 7.4" pushrods, PRC gold springs, GM LS2 timing chain, ported LS6 oil pump.

Get nitrous first. You'll be able to make more power with less money and it'll put you at about the max output you'd want to go on a stock bottom end LS1. That way, when you're ready for heads you can put em on a fresh shortblock (408ci?) out of the car rather than doing it with the engine in the car.
