GTP racing or TEA heads?

Just want some input,god or bad
If you had the choice between the(GTP) Gallant tech performance racing stage2 heads and the(TEA)Total Engine airflow stage2 heads what would you choose?Why

And what do you think of this combo?:
LS6 intake
TEA or GTP stage 2 heads
Custom grind Cam to beat emissions
FLP LTs
Custom tuning LS1 edit

There is a speed shop close to me that I've been talking to mostly about the most smogable hp (cali)I can get from the 99 Z28 and he wants to do this combo on my car. He just did a 00 Camaro that smogs with one of his custom cams GTP s2 heads and FLPs he netted a gain of 120 hp smogable.And has a good reputation from what other customers are saying about his tuning and work. What do ya think if you had the $doe would ya? I can get it all done:; tuning ls1 edit/installs/parts for $5300 w/TEAs : $5900 w/ the GTPs

One more can anyone tell me if I really need to do the LS6 intake for this combo or will the LS1 do about the same.The 00s have the LS6 right so I would need it to get the gains the 00 did in his example?
I'm also thinking maybe some 30lb. injectors to go w/ this stuff

What do ya think?

I can't help you much about the heads choice, but I would go TEA. I've just seen them around more, heard a little more about them.

00s did not have an LS6 intake. On a heads/cam car a LS6 intake will give 20 rwhp give or take a few over a regular LS1 intake. It's a definate must. You would obviously need tuning, and I'm pretty sure you would need injectors, although 30s may be a little much.

IMO, they both do very nice work so you really couldn't go wrong with either one of them. The nice thing about TEA is the price, I believe the TEA S2 heads are only like $1700-1800...compared to the $2500 or so for the GTP S2 heads. If I had the money to spend on GTPs, I'd go with them but if I were on a budget, I'd save myself the 700-800 bucks and go with the TEAs.

I'd also consider Absolute Speed...you really can't beat their prices, $1100 for stage 2's.

No I havent stik6shift98 & 96SFLZ I will(edit:if you give me a link cant find it). You know he said he works well with the guys at GTP and knows owner.He quoted $2400 for the GTP heads. But he did mention that if I wanted to get really big hp we could get a set of LS6 heads ($1000 core) didnt mention the $ of the heads. I havent seen these at any site has anybody else? I'd like to check the price for comparison.
You guys figure this combo will do 420 rwhp? guy seems to know his poop I believe'em.
