LS2 Build question

I have a 99 SS camaro.
I am building an LS2 forged lower end, with 220 to 224 cam.
my question has to do with the heads.
I can buy a set of CNC ported LS1 heads with SS valves, locks and double springs for $650. Is this a good price or a ripe off?

also are these the right heads for this motor or should I look at some victor jr. heads for around $450?

Thanks in advance for the info

Might want to call a sponsor like Texas Speed or Thunder. I curently have a set of PRC stage 3 6.0L heads on my 402.

Havent dynoed it yet, but I ran it and it ran 6.90 on motor at an 1.8th mile track. Should go, 460 to 470ish with the loose converter. I hope.

that's great !!!!
I'm trying get to 500 - 550 RWHP.
I'm building an LS2 forged lower end with a 2006 zo6 cam, LS1 heads CNC ported and 2.02 /1.57 valves, then bolting on a vortech 12PSI supercharger.
Lets hope I can get to the 550 RWHP.

I am confused now ????????

I currently have an LS1 that blewup. I am biulding an LS2 lower end, with a 2006 Zo6 cam and want to know if I put a set of LS1 heads that have been CNC ported and 2.02/1.57 valves installed will work. or should I look at a different head like the victor jr??

Thanks
