Head question
I was speaking to someone today and I was saying that alot of people are running afr heads and and he stated that ls6 heads are better just get them ported and polished. Anyone agree or disagree?

Two issues I see with this argument. First, the AFR's have the same port size and flow more, thus more velocity. Second, as you open up the stock heads you thin them out, that's OK but some have had issues with the rocker area breaking due to the higher spring loads coupled with the thinner sections. AFR's are a premium head. It all depends on your budget.

You might want to look at the Dart Pro1's. 225 intake runners out the box, fully assembled and handle 600 lift for $1600 from summit.

Cartek makes great power with LS6 heads
Cartek makes great power with LS6 heads. Look at the track times the cars run. AlexV runs 10.4's with 243 castings.
Mike can do some great stuff to these heads.

Yes we do.. there are quite a few options depending on your goals. We have used Trick Flow's, AFR,s ETP's as well as a few different GM castings with CNC ports. Best bet ia to give me a call and I will be happy to recommend a nice head depending on your application and budget..
