Default What LS3 style heads would you use?

Just getting opinions, but I figured I'd lay this out there. Which heads would you go with (Milled or unmilled) if you had the following setup:

Built L76,
stock cubes,
Callies Compstar LSC-1 3.625" crank,
6.125" Compstar H Beam connecting rods,
Wiseco 4.00" bore pistons with HD rings, (10.5:1 CR)
221/226, 567/564, 114 Lobe Sep cam,
ZR1 Head Gaskets,
Head studs,
1.7 YT Roller Rockers,
And Magnacharger of any displacement or equivalent roots style blower that you would have range from anywhere from 8-16 PSI.
(You also can have your choice of running any Shell, or Sonoco, or whatever fuel from 88-93 octane.)

I'm asking because I want to get a good F.I. head. Anyone?

Mast Motorsports makes some great LS3 heads, but they aren't cheap. I have a set of their LS3 large bore heads on my twin turbo corvette. I just had my motor rebuilt with an LSX block and these heads so no numbers yet.

No doubt they're awesome, and this is off topic, but their stroker windage tray kicks ***! They put alot of R&R into designing it. I has one

I would just go with the factory ls3 heads with good double springs. With the blower you are going to get plenty of cylinder filling anyway.

I have GMPP LS3 with lightweight valves and some good springs, and a little home porting, but nothing spectacular.
