Default Which heads for an LS2
Hey guys which heads are the best for a stock displacement LS2 head and cam car. What size combustion chamber and runner? Car will be drag raced and cost of the heads is not a factor.

I used the 215 ET Heads, with a small 224/228 cam made 461rwhp/435rwtq.

You can even use a 215cc runner with a 234-236 cam. Much over that I would go with a bigger intake runner.
