Default Best price on CNC LS1/6 heads (stock valves, unmilled)

Just like the title says. Who has the best price on stock valved, unmilled CNC'd LS1 or LS6 heads? Or, who will CNC LS1/6 heads the cheapest? The reason I ask is because I am trying to figure out if it would be cheaper to purchase a set of CNC'd LS1 or LS6 heads with stock valves, or, buy a set of used LS1 or LS6 heads and send them in to be CNC'd. I want to keep them unmilled with stock valves so I can fit a TRex in without any PV issues. Shoot me some links/prices that you all know of! Thanks

Go to TSP, they have the BEST price on LS6 heads on the market. Their PRC heads are the only heads I have seen put up multiple dyno charts averaging 50rwhp each time.

Buy some used heads and send them to TSP or Patriot. They both run about $650-$700 for CNC, cleaning, valvejob, assembly and decking

Are the PRC CNC LS6 heads that TSP offers stock sized valves? Will the TREX clear without any issues?

Bottom line is TSP PRC LS6 heads are the best bang for the buck on the market right now. Just like Pacesetter is in headers. These are the heads I'm goin with on my cam install. I can't see payin $2500 for AFR heads, when you can get these under $1000.

Sooo funny. I've been shopping for a possible heads package. Granted everyone on my last poll, said Id nver hook the power I'd produce with the stock rear etc..

Well I kept going crazy and being tempted to go ahead and get them.. since I saw Jegs carry them for like 640 or so. The darts 205 heads. Well hehe. I also saw them for liek 809 somewhere else and so on.

Well I finally woke up tonight Those were prices for the individual heads hehe.. Wow, who buys just one brand of head then puts in another brand on the other side? )

Anyways. Is the 999 shipped? looks like TSP had 899 on their website or was I looking at something different

I have to say TSP regardless.. I've blown so much money on their products int he last month hehe. Pacesetter's, catted Y, 4.10 gears, bunch of other odds n ends

Their shipping is second to none.. They get it out to you fast as hell and packaged well.

Maybe in your next post you can use a few more smilies.

TSP has a awsome product for the dollar.
I personially dont like the set with SCR or DCR with a T rex and stock or near stock compression, but the combo should make very good power.
