Default best head with stock block combo for boosted application

what are some of the best heads to run, including the stock 302 heads as a choice, for a turbo charged 88 5.0 motor with a totally stock block? motor has only 65k on it. plan on running around 12-14 psi, making roughlt 410-445 whp but keeping as a street car. thanks guys

good. Jus bought some tw heads and 1.6 rocker arms. wish I could have done a cam to but ran out of funds. Oh well. Will do the cam when I build a block one day. So will I actually gain any real power to the ground with the tw heads, or r they just stronger and flow better than stock?
