LSA Heads with an F1A?

Anyone on here make the switch from GM Stock heads (ported or not) to LSA heads with a blower? If so anything that I need to keep in mind before switching?

I am switching from LS3 unported to LSA (home ported) on my SBE LS3 while adding YSiB supercharger. I would be careful to check pushrod length just in case there is variation in stacked heights somewhere. I would not assume 7.4" to be gtg. I will post up what I find though...

There just about the same heads outside of better material and that swirl thing in the intake runner. I've seen people shave the intake runner and I've seen people leave it without a problem.

I took the airdam out of my LSA heads along with the rocker stand buldge then I aero'd the valve guide bosses. Polished the exhausts and combustion chamber (after softening).
I think they cam out pretty nice.
Stock LSA flows ~290 at .600 lift while LS3 flows ~330 at .600. I am hoping my LSA's came out slightly better than ~330cfm.

Another thing to consider though the better head helps with airflow but what will dictate the horsepower more than anything is the amount of boost you can push through.
