What Heads would you Suggest??

Just wondering what heads you think would work best with me rebuilding my L98 with the LT4 Hot Cam and including the mods in my sig? I want to stay with my intake so I want to stay away from Vortec/Fast burn heads. I was thinking maybe AFR195s any othe ideas?????????????

A search didnt come up with anything?
Trick Flow 23 degree heads are the best bang for the buck. AFR 195's are better but are also a lot more expensive.

If you talk to AFR they will probably tell you to get the 180cc heads but if you ever upgrade to a 383 you could use the 195s.Not that the 195s won't work but when I called AFR they recommended the 180cc for almost all street driven cars under 383 cubes.They also told me that unless your running a bigger cam over 224duration in a 383 that the 180cc will only give up a 5-10hp and gain 30+ftlbs of torque.But yes the AFR heads 180cc or 195 are the best heads if you can afford them.I have seen guys drop almost a half a second of the 1/4mile times by just bolting them on.Doesn't mean this will happen for you but they are serious heads for a street car.
