You will probably get more responses in the Z06 Forum.

The trick flows aren't bad, but nothing compares to a set of All Pro heads. There is a reason why all the fast guys use them.

I think the Mast heads are pretty good. From what I saw of a comparison test a couple of years back, they came out on top vs. ported stock and other after market. I think they're about $1700 per head assembled.

ill be running RHS LS7 Cylinder heads on my TT 440 project

P-Port (w/o Valve Job)
12° Valve angle & .220" raised intake runner over stock LS7 provide better line of sight into cylinders and short turn
100% CNC-machined runners optimize volume, atomization & velocity 355T6 Aerospace-grade aluminum is lightweight and increases cylinder head life as well as strength
Popular 6-bolt head design increases clamping capacity for improved head gasket retention on high horsepower & boosted applications
Compatible with popular RHS® LS Race & GM LSX Blocks
.750" Thick deck surface improves integrity in high cylinder pressure applications
.400" Raised rail allows for use with aftermarket rockers; .100" raised exhaust port allows use of both stock & aftermarket manifolds
Improved overall flow capabilities & water jacket design
Can be used in both small & large cubic inch, hardcore street application

All Pro, Mast, RHS, Brodix are all good. Who ports them will have more effect on power than brand of the casting.
