Lets talk heads
I have 853s in my 99. I will be installing a TSP T2 cam pkg, ls2 chain, ls6 oil pump, pulley, ls6 intake, and pacesetter LTs. Any issues or drawbacks from stock 853s with this setup? I'm guessing the 853s are better than the 806s but not as good as the 241s or 243s obviously. Is this correct? I can get a set of 243s with 6k on them for around $400. Is this a worth while expenditure?
Thanks
Thanks

I guess it depends on whether you believe an extra 10-20 hp (based upon the bigger runner volume and flow, and the higher CR of the 243 heads) is worth the extra $400 and time to swap the heads.
