Default Building a 6.0 liter which of these heads to use?

I am looking at the new L92 heads and L76 intake, and also the ported 243's from Patriot with an LS6 intake. Which would give the most power? I will be using a stock bottom end LQ4 with a better cam.
Car is an A4 2000 TA.
Thanks,
Shawn

ls6 combos are proven,
l92 is killer but its too new to predict power numbers
ls6 parts are falling in $ everyday it seems
can always swap over to l92 down the road if u have to,

Have you thought about Dart 225cc Heads. That is what I am using and they are supposed to excellant head's for the money. I will know in about a week.

l92 all the way. you'd be foolish not to top that 4" bore with an L92 head.

agree, do something new since they r not plenty of L92 numbers out there. I would home port them or try to give Brian at TEA a call and have a estimate and start from there.

L92s don't need ported...they flow close to, if not more than, the aforementioned heads...OUT OF THE BOX. they are CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP new from gm - what else can you ask for?

my **** will have L92 heads on it, guaranteed.

Thanks guys. The L92's are cheap, but then I will have to buy the intake and a 90mm TB. The Patriot LS6 style heads are getting pretty close to L92's in price, that is why I was wanting opinions.
Would the HP numbers be close with all other things being equal?

L92 heads and L76 intake my opinion, cheap and its stealthy(to the untrained eye)

Both post good and similar numbers, I'm going with L92s, the price is tough to beat, but I'm am thinking there might be some things to learn/growing pains using the new and yet to be proven stuff
