Default Another Head Thread

Guys I just got threw doing the cam. My next mod is the heads. I want to know who makes the best heads for a stock 04 zo6 motor. Money is not a issue here, and I want to go with the best of the best, and that will give me the most power. I have been told Trickflow, or Afr in that order...and please give me the specs on the best head to go with, and is there any other heads out there that out perform the ones I posted? There is one other brand I can't remember the name of them. Just looking for some advice from my fellow corvette memebers!

Thanks In Advance,
2KLEN4U

P.S Please let me know why you think the head you pick is the best!!

Trick Flow are the new boys on the block and ECS is using them and getting lots of success out of them and lots on this board use AFRs and also with lots of success. I would just call ECS talk to Chris or Doug or Andy at A&A as they have lots of experience with heads and the right one to match up with your new cam and stock displacement

I went with the AFR's because I wanted a proven package and the Trickflows had just really hit the market when I got my car done. You'll want to make sure that the cam you chose will match up well with the heads you want. The aformentioned guys will be able to match what you get with what you want out of the car. Happy modding!
