what "stage" heads for a street/strip/road track use truck

we've discussed supercharger types and brands VS turbos VS what's best for my truck VS what's best for your truck and blah blah blah

we've even discussed gears and mostly everyone agrees that 4.10's and custom ground cams are best in most applications.

so here's a new question:

what stage (1,2,3,4 or custom) heads for a supercharged truck that is used on the street with occasional strip/ road track mile use.

I know different stage heads flow different volumes at various lifts but what is best for street/strip use.

guess I'll start the posting:

I'm guessing the stage 2 heads with custom ground cams would be the best for mid range and top end with a mild boost in low end performance.

and with the 5.4 to 5.8 and 6.2 stroker kits out on the market now probably a better flowing head on the bottom would help with more low end torque

OK, I'll play.....custom / custom.

I know that custom ground cams are easy to come by, but the heads I'm not sure what to think. I haven't heard of a truck head porting specialists. If I sent mine out today, it would be to Steens.
