depends on all kinds of things... what turbo setup do you have? what cam are you going to run? if you are looking to make huge power from it then just keep in mind that the more air your heads flow, the more power you will be able to make... if your going all out get a set of afr 210cc's, a big single turbo (or twins) and like a 218/218 cam to keep it streetable...

just do like you would with a N/A motor.. get the nastiest heads you can find...

cfm is everything. You can take the shittiest heads in teh world and push 8 psi but you wont hold a candle to the same motor with great flowing heads with 5 psi.

Just kind of an example.. not totaly true... that does not take into accoutn velocity and ****... but you ge tthe idea.. cfm cfm cfm

210's???? Nah, all out would be either AFR 227's or AFR 215 Raised runner heads.... the 210's are nice but not the pinnacle of reverse cooled heads for LT1's....
