Default What Heads will work???

Heads!!!!. I am looking at changing out my heads (stock LS2). I have a 228/232 cam and the other bolt-ons deturned to the note of 420rwhp & 400rwtq for safety. I want to upgrade to a ECS or A&A SC next year but, want to go with some heads for now. Don’t want to lose my low end tq. What do you think would be the best heads for this set-up knowing the SC will most like come in the next year or so.
Also what type of rwhp do you think I might get from the heads.

Thanks

Check our website for head packages - Considering the boost you have planned, I would suggest your 243's with our CNC porting/SS valves/and comp valve work, etc...definitely a great performance upgrade and won't break the bank.

How much are you looking to spend and how much boost are you looking to run?

Ported L92 heads would be the best bang for the buck. Most of these ported flow 350-380cfm depending on who ports them. I would personaly use these on a street/strip setup.

If you want to spend some more then trickflow and afr make great heads that have a thicker deck that can hold more boost before pushing water. This is not really needed unless you have a forged bottom end and push alot of boost. Both of these will also make good power NA.
