Default Heads? going nitrous winter mods.

97 C5 Coupe
CAI
Custom Grind Cam
PnP 243's
Full Headers back
421rwhp

Winter mods to come
Heads??
85mm Maf
Intake-Fast 92 or LS6
Nitrous sometime in the spring.

I currently have Ported n Polished 243 heads and I enjoy the power they make over my Stock ones. But as one of my winter mods I will be buying a new set of heads. I have researched some, and seen people go with TFS or AFR. But bang for the buck (and not meaning cheap route) what do most people prefer for overall gains and durability.

You cant go wrong with those choices!

The best bang for the buck is The TFS 220's Valli and I made over 460 rwhp with these and the best heads would be Performance Induction 215's has a 3/4 deck which is great for boost! My current head!

As far as Intakes I we can throw a FAST on in my garage in under a hour so Get a used 92/90 combo already plumbed for nitrous or if you want to go totally trick look at money maker kit!

Yes you need the 85 MAF and a better filter intake and injectors too! My boy might be selling his whole top end he is selling his vette after a bad ticket you met him at cars and coffee the black frc. I will keep you in the loop!

Yeah I have the 85Mm Maf already. Just looking around for a fast, the money maker kit is nice, I have seen one around on here a while back, not sure if there is a true kit for sale on a website or if it is just someone selling them used. Its a winter mod set up so I have time to buy things. It will be a progression throughout the winter. Since the vette will be stored up in my big garage so I can do it all. I guess TFS 220's it is.
