Default LS7 heads on LS3 427 stroker

hey guys i was wondering which flowed better & which would be better for an LS3 427 stroker build. heard the LS7 heads were awsome on the ZO6 & wasnt worth replacing & wondered if they would fit on the LS3 427 shortblock like Texas Speed & Scoggin Dickey sell. would a cam made for an LS7 work in that engine also? what about intake would i need an LS7 intake to match up to the LS7 heads ? are AFR & TFS heads better than LS7 heads?

Though they are both rectangular ports, they both flow quite differently. I would spec a cam for the heads ON THE MOTOR.
