LS6 heads have a casting number of 243. They are a decent upgrade over the 241s for people on a budget.

LS1 heads...slighty better design then the 853's (98-00's) but really no performance differance.

No performance gains, just a better casting process which does nothing for you, really.

Now, 243's on the other hand, great upgrade on a tight budget.

Considering guys are running in the 10's with them, they're not bad heads. There are better though.

No. Not 1 LS1 ever came with 243's, or an ls6 cam. Now, some did get the LS6 block and 01-02's got the LS6 intake. If someone tells you different, they are a liar.
