Advanced induction. Had great results with them (460 rwhp on an ls1 with baby cam) and they have a no bs attitude and good customer service. I have a friend who owns a shop and frequently see cars dynoed with their heads and have never seen one make bad numbers. All made more than I expected.
Oh and they're cheap, less than $1k still.

I would say the best bang of the buck company would be advanced inductions. They even cab make a 241 head make decent numbers....

I'm thinking of porting my 243's myself and sending the heads to Livernois for their valve job and mill. I think one of the reasons Livernois heads flow so well is their valve job has 5 angles on the intake (2 bowl cuts) and a radius exhaust. The chamber cuts are different angles; most shops use the same angles (ex. 37*~37* or 30*~30*) on both chamber cuts.

Other than a extra $1000.00 ? They would open up the intake port to 220cc where as I would open it to 212~215cc, I would thin the valve guide boss and size the bowl to 90% of the 2.00" valve. I would leave the swirl ramp and rocker boss. I would open the exhaust port from 75cc to 85 or 90cc and thin it's guide so I could run a single pattern cam. My goals are different than most of the people here.

I was researching AI LS3 heads last night and came across this on Yellow Bullet. He doesn't mention what the other 3 head porters were, but AI came out on top vs all of them.

Mr. J-Rod, what if I have a pair of 8k mile ls6 243 heads? I can send them off to AI along with a set of springs of my choice to fit my cam and I am $$$ saved right??? Oh, and I still have my stock (kind of) heads.

Or you could sell the 243 heads, make roughly $400+ dollars that you could put toward an aftermarket casting. You can purchase TFS 220cc as cast heads for a really good price through Brian Tooley, or you could comb through the classified section on here for a used set of AFR or TFS heads.

Oh yeah right, sell a set of ls6 243's with 8k miles for $400. I have not seen that at least these days. Maybe a couple plus years ago on the z06 forum. I have already purchased a new set of afr 215's. I am just wondering if I should leave what I have untouched or work them for a potential new project ..... Like that's going to happen lol. I will probably just pack them away in the AFR box and forget...
