Thinking about Head/Cam...Suggestions please
Dollar for dollar, it looks like LS6 heads, springs, and cam would be the cheapest. Would it be worth it? What kind of gains could I expect from this proposed setup? I would like to get stage 1 or 2 LS6 heads, but the stockers are SO affordable, I almost can't resist.
So far, the mods are as follows-
All free mods
SLP lid
ACCEL Filter
SLP LM
Cutout in I-pipe
Fernco
Will probably get a 3200-3600 stall soon after H/C, and 3.73's as well.
Would I be beter off getting longtubes and ORY first, or would this H/C be worth it?
Thanks in advance!!!!!!

I should also mention that one of the local engine builders (BRE) could do a "stage 1-street port" for fairly cheap. And yeah, the car has 112,000 miles on it now.

we can set you up with a Stage1 set of heads with cam and push rods for $1695.00 plus shipping. also we will refund $250.00 of that if you return your stock heads to us, so final cost would be $1445.00. we are in the Louisville, KY area so are close to you also. a set of stock LS6 heads are not worth the cost IMO.

mods are
LS6 intake
LT headers
Lid
exhaust(forget which one)
smallish cam (207/220 .573/.580 117.5 LSA) LPE GT2-3
3500 stall
running 7.46@93mph in the 1/8
so I would say with a similar setup you could get similar results, with a bigger cam should make even more power.
converter would be a good idea even without heads and cam
