You need to look at heads for your setup based on NA horsepower. The nitrous does not matter much with head selection. Nitrous will make up for some of the airflow the head will not produce.

I should also add what is your budget? Are you looking for the cheapest, mid range, or high end? You will get recommendations from PRCs, Patriot to Darts to AFR, and Trickflow all depending on what you want to spend.

not tooootally true... a good nitrous head would be a head more directed towards exhaust flow more so than intake flow.... but that is only a benefit if you are spraying basically all the time.

Very true, I did not look much at the exhaust side because most people have trouble on the intake side and not the exhaust. Most people I know on the gas are running stock headed cars with headers and cutouts. So I tend to neglect the backside of things.

money dosent matter i just want to have the fastest street car around town and still havve the realiability. i just dont see spending 6k dollars on the procharger when u can get that horsepower in nitrous. if the stock ls6 gives up im gonna put the 402 stroker in it and the n2o will probably come off.
