I'm happy with my TEAs. They have some new LS6 port designs out too.

Define "best". Best for peak HP, peak TQ, or area under the curve? Best w/ a stock cam, or w/ an aftermarket cam? If aftermarket, what lift & duration? Best for a stock displacement engine, or a stroker? Best for the money? Best for the street, or for the strip?

IMHO, I think the best heads are the ones I bought to fit my needs --- Absolute Speed Stage 1.x. I paid less than $1K, and got killer #'s w/ a very mild combo.

I know other guys that swear by TEA, GTP, MTI, etc.

Different strokes for different folks......
