look to gain about 40 horses, maibe 30 on the low end, but most likely about 40 with what you got.

That would sound about right as far as HP gains go.

don't go with the 6.0 heads well actally i din't know PP had 6.0 heads, well anyways 6.0 heads will lower your cr and you'll loose power unless you planing on doing fi i dont recomend it. As far as the stage 3 heads you'll probably make a little more power but you also gotta know that with bigger ports come lower velocity meaning what you can only go so big with the stock cubes. You will make more power on the stage 3 heads, but where they'll really shine is if you go for bigger cubes like a 383 or a 402, or 427 strokers, or if you do Fi on you stock cubes. if not better just go with their stage 2 heads with the 59 cc conbustion chamber, this will bring your CR up to about 11.1 then just hook up a 100 shot of nitrous cause nitrous loves the high CR and 500 plus rwhp here you come actually 550 plus would be very doable.

i actually have nitrous on it but its not hooked up and ive never run it, i thought these heads would be good for a DD without having to spend too much money on them right now, when i build my motor bigger in the future ill prob go with some big and nice afr's or somthing of the like

After doing a bunch or research, 40 hp seems to be the general concensus with that setup. I was looking at a set of them a while back.

These are our perimeter bolt LS heads. They will work great if you have a 98 F-body since you have perimeter bolt valve covers.

if you got nitrous then you need the ls6 style 59 cc heads or the ls1 5.3 heads don't go with anything bigger for the juice.

well you might be able to find them for $1k if you look around really well also if you patient the sponsors that sell pp heads have specials once in a while, look in the member sale section you might find some good deals. You really need to go with high compression heads even if you only running a 50 shot, the only time that you would want a lower compression head, from a performance point of view is when you turbo, or super charge the car. That or maibe you live in Tijuana and the only gas you could get down there is like 87 octane or something like that, lol.

edit heads ussually run for more than a $1000 but like i said if your patien you will get a good deal.
