Heads for my setup I need suggestions for heads given my setup. This is for a 98 C5 6 speed. I'd like to stay around $1,500 or less. I'm looking for power under already have spings/pushrods. Whats the next step up from LS6 heads? Patriot, PRC? Should I just get the LS6 heads? Also, my friend doing the install has LS7 lifters, is there any benefit of using these in my car?

AFR 205's.
Not your budget, I know but,...take it from a douchebag thats spent alot of money, more then once, on the same products.... then ended up buying what I really wanted in the end.
Any of the heads you mentioned would work but, the 205's would rock that setup of yours pretty well.

V-series has some for sale. Budget heads are your "as-cast" heads that are ported. A good majority use the PRC 2.5 LS6 heads. They are in the $1500. With those heads, you get a .5 compression bump. You would end up with a 25-30 whp increase with those heads. Your higher dollar heads : AFR, TFS, will net you quite a bit more than the as-cast selections. Not to mention, AFR 205's are emissions legal if that is a factor.
