Default Which head to choose need some advise.

Well I just finish my mods and now I got a bad lifter. So I need to pull the stock heads so I might as well change the heads. Should I go with texas speed as cast 225 or the prc 2.5 ls6 ported heads. I like advanced induction but, when all said done I might be able to unload my stock heads locally. My mods are below which made 450rwhp & 409rwtq or just change lifters out for new ones and call it day. This is a daily weekend driver. NO track days . If I buy heads want to stay $1800 or below.

I would install CNC LS3 heads, and that is what I actually did before I put the 416" stroker in.
