Default where can I get the best heads for the money

I've been looking for the best deal on stage2 heads. I know that GTP heads are really good. I've seen their work. Is their anybody else that has the same quality and a better price.

Another for Absolute Speed. Jay's heads have been putting out some pretty stout numbers. For a great price. I am waiting on a set of 6.0l for my TT. Angelo

Look at SDPC their Ls6 ported heads flow over 300 cfm and they are 795 each bare you can drive out new no core charge for $2100 with valves springs and retainers assymebled ready to bolt on. But if you want the best IMO call MTI but you will spend $2500 or more but for the money I like my SDPC heads.

The Patriot Performance cylinder heads are VERY hard to beat! We still have the heads priced at $1,295 fully-assembled and ready to bolt on with dual valve springs and titanium retainers with 2.02"/1.57" valves. This is for the stage II porting and finish work. We also have the heads/cam package with your choice of TSP camshaft, stage II Patriot cylinder heads, hardened pushrods, and Rollmaster double-roller timing set for $1879.99. Now THAT'S hard to beat! We are shipping out six sets of Patriot cylinder heads tomorrow, so we'll be getting more and more results in the weeks to come.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!

Trevor

Another vote for Patriot. I really feel like I got my moneys worth on my heads. The car makes great power for such a small cam.

TEA, hands down the best bang for the buck. Their SII 5.3l heads are the shiznitty!

I've got to get in my .02 for TEA. Let's be honest, guys are making far better power with cams than they are with porting, so rather than beat yourselves over the head on CFM and flowbenches, consider service and track performance.

TEA has EXEMPLARY customer service. I spent hours on the phone asking questions before I bought my heads, (sorry Brent!) and they were never to busy for me, before, or after the sale.

Look hard at price, and customer service. All these heads with a comparable cam are right on top of each other as far as power is concerned, so you'll have a hard time making a decision if that's the only factor you're considering.

As soon as I see some dyno numbers with the Patriot heads with a large cam I'll be in.
