Mamo, jump in here and gives us some flow numbers and a description of your ported Ls7 heads

Larry Meaux is another who's heads make serious power. You just don't hear much about him on forums because he is always busy as hell, and has been for a long time. http://www.maxracesoftware.com/

AI it is. I found some LS7 heads last night from a guy on this board he happens to be a local as well. I just couldn't have any downtime since the car is my daily driver. And I was only considering WCCW because a friend of mine works for a shop and has these heads on the shelf

Our heads fix the geometry problems so you won't run into problems again. And you can sell off your old heads to offset the cost. The airflow is of good quality and excellent for it's CSA. Let me know if you have any questions.

If you found a set of AI heads, just go with those. At this point, the gains/losses are negligible. I doubt Tony has a core set sitting, ready to go. So that will likely be out of the question for you.
When I did the cam/head swap it took me about 3 days start to finish. That's with lots of time running around to find misc parts/tools I needed and having to drop the wife off at work, etc...
The second time I pulled the heads in about an hour and had it running again the same day.

For Max power this.
And like Fran said, flow numbers are like Dyno numbers. Easy to manipulate and all over the place. Don't get hung up them. Ai heads consistently perform amazing. If you aren't doing the full out mamo heads do the ai.

I've owned WCCH and AI heads and consistently recommend them. I've seen a set of the Mamo heads and they are nice but to make 5-7hp more in the mid range and save $2400 was a no brainer to me.
You will not not be disappointed. I'm in the 640rwhp range on a cam slightly bigger than the BTR IV, with a Mamo MSD, NW102, and 12.3:1 SCR. The car also makes 540+ rwtq - more than enough to make your street tires useless.

If you could somehow get AI port job with AHP moldstar guides with new stock intake valves polished by del West and new ferrea hollow exhaust valves that'd be one killer setup. I couldn't figure out an economical way to get that so I sent my wcch heads to AHP. Doing guides and valves twice sure sucked!

I run Ferrea F2042P hollow exhaust valves and TI OEM Intake valves in AI 280cc ported heads. This combination seems to work fine.
AI is only about 10 miles from me so it was an easy choice for me to use them.

Just keep an eye on those guides. I bet they won't last long.

When I had my motor built last year I had AI go over my heads and to also check for wear and the guides had no wear with 5,000 miles on them. I don't drive my car a lot, but it gets driven hard when I do drive it. I probably put 2,500 miles a year on it.
