Default Help with Heads and Cam Package

Alright...right now my plans are to find a LT1 block and build it up...so i have a cam from my LT1 which is Comp Cam. The specs are:

218in @ .050
224ex @ .050
495 in lift w/1.5
503 ex lift w/1.5
112 LSA

So i was looking at LE heads and was wondering what would be the best. LE1 or LE2. Now i am on a budget so I have to be careful. Now other then the LE, what would you guys suggest for heads? I have the stock cam so when i sell my old LT1 i'm going to put the stock cam in it and then keep my comp cam and the accesories and sell the block etc for cash. Anyways Just let me know your opinions.

Thanks!

LE1's are great budget heads, his LE2's are good for the money. I went with ET CNC'd heads they are a little more expensive but I have my reasons nothing against LE. Advanced Inductions also does good work from what I heard also. The LE2's come with 2.00 valve where ET is a larger valve, but it all comes down to budget and as the old saying goes "The Best Bang for Your Buck". Good Luck and keep us all posted.
