Probably the new terminator head by TSP. A guy on the site made 490rwhp with these heads+MS3 cam and full bolt ons. I imagine it would work just as well with the MS4.

Or if your on a budget then get the PRC LS6 stage 1 heads.

Surely you don't put much stock into the sponsors' "trophy car" that they put out with new parts! That's just silly to think those numbers are repeatable.

Look into AFR and ETP cylinder heads. These heads continually produce good numbers. TEA Trick Flow heads are also another option.

this is a little bit backwards, usually one has a cam designed (or designs it themselves) around the limitations of the cylinder head, intake manifold, and exhaust system. having said that, if you are on a fairly tight budget (less than $2k) and like how your MS4 behaves with stock heads, then get ported GM heads from your favorite vendor. Look forward to seeing you in the dyno and track times sections.

you will need to flycut with the MS4 and TERMINATORS....id think youd be VERY happy with some great ported LS6's
seriously...

and youll have enough left for other mods...or some beers after install!

Yeah, look at Patriots 227cc (I think) chambers or TSP Budget LS6 243cc chambers. Both are good options for someone on a budget. Patriot runs a bunch of specials on here so keep a look out. I just recently picked up a set of heads from them at a redicuously low price.

I would not be suprised if you couldnt pull a 480+rwhp #/ That combo + Fast 90/90 and the tb.
That intake and tuning will get it done.
