are stage 3 heads to much for stock cube? i have a 235/ 240 601 /599 on 112 tsp cam and an ls6 intake and was wondering if some stage 3 heads would be too much and what would be the difference if i put them on
and i was also thinking ofgoing with a fast intake and a 90mm tb ported to match the heads

Stage 3 heads usaully incorperate the same port as the Stage 2's, but with a larger bore opening and bigger valves.(2.08/1.60) For a stock bore motor, these addition aren't bennificial, and somewhat hurtful. To much valve shrouds the chamber, or better yet, the valve is to close to the cylinder wall when opening to let the air disburse evenly. In most cases, 2.05 is the biggest intake valve you want in a max effort stock short block.

The bottom line is that you need to look at your application and choose what heads will work best for you regardless of what "stage" it is.
