Talking What top end setup

I am putting together an LS1, and I am curious on what top end setup I should use. I was thinking the Trick Flow setup or the LS6 stage 3 CNC Ported and Polished Heads w/ LS6 intake. I want about 450hp, so can you help me out in any way? Thanks

If u got the money i would go with trickflows. they have some of the best flow numbers. Ls6's arn't to to far behind thou. I'm going with trickflow 215's for my H/C swap this winter

Yeah, i was just doing some reading on the TF'S. I really like the 515hp setup...It says you need to have at least 10.5:1 compression in order to get 515 hp out of them. What do these LS1's come with? I found some ls6 stage 3 cnc for 1,899 ech. So I'm thinking more along the lines of trickflow....

Get the aftermarket casting, many advantages you may need in the future like thicker decks. Build off a solid foundation and you will have a great setup.
