Default Good heads for a blower build

One of my first buys for my winter build up for my engine is going to be heads. I have seen a couple different brands that I am interested in, but I'm not sure which will react nicely to a vortech supercharger that will be accompanying it before next spring. If you guys had to pick a nice set of heads to go with a charger, which would you pick?

how much boost? afr's are great all around. the most boost you run, the less compression you want. i run 58cc afr's with 7-8lbs of boost and its getting me about 450rwhp with a vortech

Most any aftermarket heads can work well with a SC. The important thing is to match components as you go. I have Trick Flow TW and Dart heads, both seem to do well, I like to get heads that have 2.02 and 1.60 valves.

I believe that twisted wedge heads are the only 2.02 valve heads that will fit w/o fly cutting the pistons. I think the 61cc AFR's might be better for a s/c than the 58cc's (lower comp ratio).
