Default Heads?

I have an 04' with quite a few mods and wanted to put heads on for some added horses but haven't decided on the brand. Any ideas?

if cost is an issue check out Patriot or Livernois -243(LS6) heads will give good power.

Our heads are a little on the conservative side, number wise that is.

Afr's are probably the best but also the most costly. ETP are right there too if you can get em.

It really depends if you are looking to get a good set of budget heads or go all out. Let us know what you are looking to spend and you should have some much more informative replies.

AFR's will handle the full radical mods better than anyone. However, they are probably overkill for a mild head/cam combo (220's,lsa around 114) that will be a daily driver first and then a track car. If I was going into the 240's, lsa 108 or 110 with a big shot of nitrous then I would go to AFR. Also I would give them serious thought if I was going the big power twin turbo route.
Patriot can and I'm sure Livernois can as well get you to 300cfm at .600 with a set of heads -talk to Rick at Livernois about his cam set up.
