Help with head selection

I have supercharged 1999 vert with the following cam 228/232 114lsa .590 intake and .610 exhaust. The cam has a XRE lobe. The current heads are LS6 Partiot level 2 heads. I dropped a valve and probably need a new head so I am wondering if there is a better option than what I have.

That's a good head. I ran 243's until I started pushing water. Just installed a set of Trickflow 225's. They have a 3/4 deck to help with that issue.

How bad is the head? Some can be repaired. Tony Mamo just came out with an "as cast" 223 head with individual hand worked bowl areas. Price is very competitive. May want to check that out as well.

I won't know until later in the week about how bad the head is.
