It would most likely be the most expensive, say some small bore Mast heads LS7 with its obligatory 1.8 ratio ported up by Frankenstein for like a grand more so about 5 grand later..... Studs are hard to put in the back so a PITA, lifters varied response there.... on what you want Johnson, morel, low lift, stock...etc Valve springs are cam specific, and ARP the base for any fastener, the deal is with a stock bottom end you should stay lower end of boost and asingle turbo will only give you so much anyway and stock GMPP ported heads would be affordable for most...

No need to do heads, just turn up the boost if you want more power.

You will run out of turbo fuel or motor before needing to touch heads. Some lightly ported LSA heads are a good budget choice that can take you into the 1000hp range.
I wouldn't let Frankenstein come close to a ls head. Way to many horror stories about there ls heads and a local just got some and lost a good amount of power over stock.

I'd port the heads. Make more power with less boost. Turn the boost up to the previous amount and see even more. Its all about efficiency.
