tsp prc stg 1 ls6 heads with comp valve job. youre going want heads with stock sized valves so you dont have to flycut, and they are a good deal. i believe about $1200 with the comp valve job.

I'm probably going to go with some PRC stage 1's with the comp valve job. We'll see if I have ptv issues! BTW, I have a T-Rex v.1 in the motor right now.

Our CNC ported 243 castings we have on special for $995.00 assembled will work well also. They have the oem 2.00"/1.55" oem valves, our 5 angle valve job, hand blended, our Patriot Gold Dual springs, ti retainers, etc. These heads are an excellent value and will perform well for you.

Thanks for all the kind words on our PRC heads guys! We've worked really hard perfecting the ports with extensive dyno & flow testing!

If you get some extra time just look in the dyno section. I think you'll find the horsepower results you're looking for!!

I agree ETP 225 with high compression would be a top end monster.
