Time for new heads

[bowtiemonster]

We need a bit more info, like your budget range and what kind of power you want. Are you going to put a cam in it as well?

I personally run PRC stage 2.5 5.3L heads. Hard to beat the price. There are better performing heads out there but you're gonna pay for it.

What I have desribed is what i have as far ass budget I expect to pay for what I get so figure mid range. Like i said it's stock. No cam I plan on new motor later. so no cam changes.

Do you have an air lid yet? Honestly, to save yourself money, I would wait till you get your new motor to get heads, that way you don't have to buy another set or make less power on your new motor b/c your heads aren't as good as they could have been.

Yes I have a granitlli air lid and as far as spending money on a new motor and heads the old engine with these heads will eventually find its way in to my el camino.

i like that "you got a hemi haha" under your name. i think it's so funny when people say yeah but this has the hemi in it.........i always think yeah there is a reason they had to put that much hp in it since it weighs as much as a dump truck. sorry to be off topic.

PRC has a lot of good bang for the buck deals, I would go with something of theirs since you aren't keeping the motor in your car for that long.

I would say Patriot stgII ls6 heads. I was going to run these but I ended up going with the Patriot LQ9 stgII heads because im runing boost. Everything I have read about the LS6 heads have been good. Also very affordable something like $1300 with valves and springs. There customer service is great as well, give them a call and ask.

i just dropped a couple bucks on some AFR 205's flat milled... Havent had them installed yet,but have been promised great numbers. I'll post the dyno results when I get them.

Personally I like AFR if aftermarket, and PRC for ported OE castings.

you could always just get your stock heads milled down a bit since a cam is not in your plans for future mods on this engine.It would atleast bring up compression some for you.

I run these same heads,and yes there are better heads,but for the price and 40rwhp gain I could not pass it up.
