Default BEST heads to match up w/ MS3 and FAST intake

I have an '02 SS, w/ MS3 cam, full exhaust, 4:10's, and looking to get some KICK *** heads. While I'm not trying to break the bank here, I'm also not wanting to go cheap either. Just trying to get people's opinions on which heads would best be suited with this cam to make huge power and torque. I also plan on getting a FAST 92 intake and throttle body, and upgrade my lifters & fuel injectors while I'm at it. Thanks in advance.

I run the Terminator heads....also from TSP and there a pretty good set up for the MS3. In TX with 93 octane and good tune I made 470/417 with the ms3, terrmy heads, 90/90 and full exhaust...now have a 9" and get shitty 91 octane in AZ and havent got a re-dyno yet so Im waiting to see. But overall I like my set up.

The new PRC 215 heads would be a great choice for your combo. The 215 head can be assembled with 59-60cc chambers & still have good p/v clearance when combined with the MS3 camshaft.

You have to be very careful which cylinder heads you choose with a camshaft that large. P/V is pretty tight without a cylinder head built with p/v in mind.

We offer the PRC Stage 2.5 5.3l head & PRC Stage 2.5 LS6 head for the MS3, but the PRC 215 heads will offer you better flow, and P/v clearance thanks to the valve angle change.

Thanks for the replies. Those PRC 215's do seem nice, but they are some serious $$$!

They're actually cheaper than the other quality after market casting cylinder heads, and don't require aftermarket rockers like some do. For the money they're a awesome bargain, but if someone doesn't want to spend that much money the PRC LS6 & 5.3l heads are both nice.
