Default PRC aftermarket 250cc LS3heads

I have really been looking at the PRC aftermarket 250cc LS3 heads.Does anyone have any expierence with these? Or what are some ohter good ported stock casting choices. Im looking at doing heads and cam when i get my taxes back.

Car is an 08 Ls3 A6 Z51
current mods are vararam, LG 1 3/4 superpros, no cats, LG catback, fast 102, NW throttle body made 414rwhp and 410wrtq

my cam will probably be a 225/230 114 or someting similar.

around how much power can i make with a cam about that size, i really dont want to go much bigger, but i would want to get as much compression out of the heads as i can and still run pump gas.

thanks

I don't think you will gain much with a mild cam and stock displacement. Most of the gains you will get from the heads will be from the raised compression. I would just mill the stock heads instead of getting them ported.

What gears and converter are you running? If you are still running the stock converter I would install a high stall converter to get the best performance out of your new cam.
