does it has flat top or dish pistons? best oem head would be 243 or l92 heads. if you dont want over 11.0 c/r then dont get l92/ls3 heads. ifs its lq4(dish) get 243 heads and mill them 030 or so if lq9 (flat tops) just bolt them on!

If your budget isn't too tight add the trunion upgrade for the rockers adn the LS7 lifters like chevrolade mentioned. Then get a cam with hardened push rods and matching springs. Bolton some milled 243s and go to town. A well built stock bottomend LQ4 can make over 450rwhp.
well i work at a machine shop so i am not to worried about the bottom end we just dont know any thing about the heads we haven't built enough of these yet is been all stock stuff
also this guy is trying to sell me these 853
