Default What heads for a car running nitrous

Ive been looking and reading for so long but havent really seen what is a good set of heads for car running N2O. I was debating on getting in on the TEA 1.5 5.3L heads but wasnt sure if it would be smart to raise compression with the juice. im only running 125 shot dry so i know im not really pushing my motor hard compared to the cars running 150-200 shots.... ? Any suggestions

It really all depends on how much you want to spend on them.

You can raise the compression with juice. And the TEA 1.5s are not a bad choice. But before you order...call TEA. They have many different port designs in thier CNC setup. And some exhaust ports they have are more towards nitrous use. I have some TEA stage 3 LS6 heads that were done with nitrous in mind. Cant wait to spray them.

I have custom CNC 6.0 heads that were dual planed to bump the compression up. They have a 3 angle valve job, 2.055/1.70 Ferra valves, dual rev springs and titanium retainers. The AFR and All Pro heads are supposed to be really good also. I'd look for heads with a fairly thick deck surface for N20.
