For starters I wouldnt use ls3 style heads. Quality cathedral casting is what I would do. Something like PRC 227/237 or AFR v230 or TFS 225s

Trickflow 225's with a fast 102/ nick Williams 102 and a VRX5 Cam or Vindicator cam. It's a proven combo.

Listen to this man, he is giving you good advice. Since the bore isn't at least 4.030 Stay with cathedral port style heads.

Mast,AFR or TFS in that order, and saying all the fast cars run TFS is completely false. But I would go with MAST first
