there are a lot of heads to choose from. i am sure you will hear somebody say this so i will start. martin at tick is a great guy to talk to. tell him what you want to do with the car how you want it to act and sound and he can make a custom cam and recommend heads that will compliment it.
if i dont end up with a c5 this summer i will be reaching out to him for top end recommendations myself.

I heard the stock heads flow really well. And with a good port job out perform many aftermarket sets. But I'm no gear head, just word on the street...

We have a very nice TEA/TFS As Cast or CNC head/cam package.

Send yours to TEA or AI and take advantage of the hollow valves your LS6 heads have. Those will make good power over the stock castings, even more so with a nice cam.

I went this route and just got it all installed Tuesday and so far so good. I'm very happy with it so far but need to get it tuned and then really see how it goes.

Since you are here in the Raleigh area it looks like according to your info I would give Tick a shout for the parts. They are about an hour and a half away in Mt. Airy. Another good person to talk to is Rick Crawford down in the Fayetteville area.

If you wanted to send your stock heads off to get ported, Advanced Induction down in Concord is a great resource.

Do you plan on doing the install yourself of having a local shop do it?

Yep, that's me. Thanks for the help with the selection of the parts and everything.

OP: definitely give Martin a call. He'll set you right.
