Thanks

There is only 1 true aftermarket head right now for the LS-1 and that is the AFR's. They have thicker decks and a little more material in the right places for better porting. On the other hand, you have ported factory heads. Most usaully install larger valves, get a good valve job, port the chambers, and deck them for the desired compression. They also install whatever springs for your particular application. That's about it in a nutshell. It's really a pretty broad question.

Thanks for the fast reply! When I find out what Cam I am getting I guess I will be buying some AFR's.
