Default GMPP LSX LS7 heads?

Anyone running these heads on a boosted motor i have a set of as-cast and was planning on having them CNC'd, change the exh. valves and springs but when all said and done that puts them up in the 3K range would i be better with another head already done like the PRC's? They are going on a twin 427 that will make around 1000whp give or take not real high boost maybe 18psi max.

I would just do the PRC heads. For $3k you can get them built with Ti valves ready to go.

I was originally going to do the PRC's but could not find any info. on them and the heads i have already have TI intake valves. i think the TI valve upgrade on the PRC's puts them in the $3200 range plus shipping. I dont think they will flow any better then the GM's once ported.
Many of the big name porter's have the program for the heads i was probably going to let Richard at WCCH do them.

We have used the GM LSX heads on several boosted builds. We can set them up in a variety of ways.

So are they decent? Whats your pricing on CNC'ing them with SS exh. valves and dual springs/TI retainers?
