I'm pretty set on using a GT2-3 cam in my SS for a dead silent sleeper (should I decide to even keep this car). I was considering just using my 241 heads and having them fully worked by TEA, etc, etc. I've also thought about forking over more cash for worked 243s, but would I really see any better gains with the 243s over the 241s as the GT2-3 is a baby cam?

The LS6 will be better but is much more expensive. I would suggest a nie set of stage 1.5's You will gain some serious power and compression. Call TEA and comfirm but I feel this will be the best route.

Stg. 1.5 LS6's or 5.3L's? I never have any luck calling TEA.......

i am putting the stock ls6 heads on my gt2-3 cammed ws6.I am gonna open them up just a little bit before they go on.I say go with something that will have the smaller port size 200-215 and it should make a nice combination.try to get some heads with the improved ls6 combustion chambers and higher compression.like stated before call around and see what you can find.

I think LPE uses their GMPP LS6 heads with that cam.

If it was my money and I had to pick a set of heads for the GT2-3 I would be looking at a good set of stage 1 (5.7L) or 1.5 (5.3L) heads from TEA or PRC and I'd run as small of combustion chanber as possible, like 60-62 CC to get some nice compression.

If I were on a tight budget I'd buy a set of stock 243 heads off of ebay.

If I had unlimited funds I would stick a set of 205 AFR's on it. I believe the GT2-3 with some 205 AFR's would make an awsome street machine.

Good luck. Buy the best head your budget will allow.

I agree the 205 would rock with that GT2/3 cam....
I'm going to run either the Dart or Edlebrock with my wimpy 214-222 559-566 cam

I feel this is a very good post. I wouldn't run stock LS6 heads ever unless I competed in a stock head class. There are 2 many better options out now.
TEA stage 1, PP stage 2 would both kill a set of stock LS6 heads for about the same cost.

how high of compression can we run on the ls1 without crazzy ping or race gas ect.I thought it was somewhere around 10.5/1 someone fill me in here.And yeah those afr's would be sick.
