AFR or Trick Flow are what I am leaning towards. Both have very good low/mid lift #'s that will produce good torque as well as topend. TEA does a great CNC port job on the TFS from what I have read. You can't go wrong on either of these. ETP is stong too. These are the big three IMHO You are at the topend of your budget though.

what is the difference between the 215cc and 225cc Trickflow heads?? Is one for the LS1 and the other LS2?? Or is it a matter of torque versus hp?

TFS has a new "as cast" head that is supposed to real good. If $$ is not an issue, ETP TFS and AFR thats it.
