Default Head options???

Im looking to get a set of heads, ive been looking at a couple, first i looked at the PRC 5.3 stage 2.5 heads, but they said they are out of the 5.3 heads and gm doesnt make them anymore. then i started looking at patriot, i noticed the ls6 heads they have are pretty reasonable. So are there any other companies that make a cheaper head? or are these pretty much it? im running an 02 ls1, t56, in an 88 gta with a 9" 4.11's. have lt's, ported tb, ls6 intake (stock), ud pulley, and an LPE GT2-3 cam.

id like to make 440rwhp after the heads and swapping cams.

so what do you guys suggest for a set of heads? or a good head/cam combo? looking to keep the price down.

Find a place around your house that rebuilds trucks. I found me a low mile 5.3 truck motor to make into a 5.7 for $150. Laying in an ant bed a couple of feet away was an al 5.3 w/ 243's. Gonna go back and ask him about that one!!

Heads come with motors. Just giving you options of finding cheap heads to have cnc'd. Thought you couldn't find 5.3 heads. Good luck.

I love my TSP (PRC) 5.3L Stage 2.5 heads. They make great power and they are so affordable.

Look into the TFS as-cast heads. They're reasonably priced and make good power.
