For the price, they are certainly worth it. I don't think I have heard anything bad about them. Just stick with the LS6, don't waste your time with the 5.3's.
The AFR's seem to flow the best and make the most power though.

I also have the 5.3 "ls6-style" heads. For the price, I am very happy with them. You can get nicer hand-ported heads for sure, and you'll pay for them as well.

bang for buck they are worth it. There have been bad things said but what product hasn't had something bad said about it at sometime. There are nicer heads out there but not for a lot more money. Go for it, get the LS6's.

Typical stage 2 heads and cam packages can deliver anywhere from 390-430HP and a good combo might bring you near 450 with the right tune. (And that is with full bolt-ons of course)
