how much can you spend?

above 2,000 look at TFS, AFR, PRC.
under that, a lot of places do real good work on LS6 heads.

the MS4/PRC 215 combo is the current heads cam record holder set up... i cant really see arguing with that. Plus i was talking to the guys at TSP and i believe, dont quote me, that you can run the PRCs way down in CC size without flycutting.

Im looking at going with the PRCs too

I definitely need a 92 setup to get the most out of these heads.

I'm in for the PRC 215s also!

You need upgrade your intake though.. The Ms4 likes to breath at 6k+ RPMs... The ls6 intake runs out of breath before then.. Expect a good 30rwhp to going from that to a (well ported) FAST 92/92.

What size converter you running?

oh yeah a 92 set up would free up some nice power...

i plan on running the prc 215s with the tv3. ive heard some good things about these heads but they are new so not to many combos out there yet. i was planning on going with tfs but then u need to replace rockers and thats atleast another 450 plus the prcs flow a little better

lol at lemons


i doubt like hell these are emmisions friendly, i also doubt like hell that you are going to fail a sniffer test or visual because of the heads. you could always get the head decorative plate for the passangers head that would cover anything that says they werent stock

i do believe you are the first person to ever ask if heads are emissions riendly the cam and exhaust you choose will decide whether you are emissions legal.
