Default Help me decide on which head to use.

I have a stock LS6 engine. I am installing a LGP GX3 cam, and I am planning on having the heads, ported, polished and shaved.

However, I am also considering just getting AFR 205 heads.

Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know which vendor has the best pricing on AFR's - I'm guessing that there is not a lot of difference in pricing between various vendor's on AFR heads, but I could be wrong

I bought a used set at a good price - look around a little on the forum and you may find a used set and it might be worth waiting for
