Advanced Induction 226cc or 232cc heads
I am thinking about sending out my 243s to AI. I am looking to make a max effort ls6 and I was wondering what everyone's thoughts were on AIs 226 or 232 heads were. In my opinion since the work is the same price I should go with the 232s but I don't have any actual experience with them.

So do you guys think I should go with the 232? I am asking because I am wanting to get a custom cam to match prior to sending my heads in.

I am thinking of getting bigger valves put into the 232 heads as well. I was thinking 2.020/1.600 but should I go bigger? I would like some input on this. If anyone has suggestions please post them up.

As far as the cam goes, might be a good idea to talk about the guys at AI. Based on the setups they've done for people they seem to know what they're doing and it's worth a phone call. Not sure about the valves, i've heard in some cases too big and you risk losing some power.

Okay so I heard back from Phil at AI and he suggested keeping stock valve sizes so that is what I am going to do.

Ya that sounds good the 232's with biiger valves flow a lot for non-stroker I'd say the 226's with a nice comp ratio should put it in good shape. Tea is also a great company with similar results to AI I'd feel comfortable with either

I am going to do 232s since it is the same price as the 226s I think but I will talk to Phil more prior but I am going to keep stock valves. I intend on doing a stroker at some point so I would rather not pay for the work twice. According to their site 232s won't harm most stock cube applications.
