tfs 215 cc head. you get what you pay for.

If you are on a lighter budget get some 5.3 stage 2 heads and that will help out down low.

Definitely the budget head would be the PRC 5.3 Stage 2.5s. If you've got the coin, some AFRs would really rock your socks, but I think if I had a sweet set of AFRs I would definitely go with a different cam than the Torquer V3. It's just a matter of matching the right heads with the right cam.

The PRC Stage 2.5 5.3l head is a great budget option. From a engine dyno standpoint they compare very well next to the heads being discussed. If your willing to spend a little more than $1200 then the PRC 215 cylinder heads should be ready in about a month! The question you have to ask yourself is what's your ultimate goals for the car. You can buy $1200 cylinder heads that make 40rwhp gain & $1100 intake & tb combo that makes 35rwhp gains for cheaper than you can buy most aftermarket casting cylinder heads that best case might make 45rwhp....

I have a cam similar to a TQv2 with a set of TEA ported 5.3L heads and Im over 450. I would imagine if I had a newer higher end head I would get a good bump in power.

The heads from Texas Speed are great heads, especially for the price. You really cant go wrong.

My vote is for the TSP 5.3 heads also. You won't be disappointed.

And Jason: I'll drive to Lubbock if you need a test car!!!
