im trying to make decisions on cylinder heads for my new build, i'd like to keep the lsx block bore between 4.030 to 4.070, these are the 2 heads that im considering: tf235 and mast256 ls3:
by looking at the advertised flow numbers the tf flows way more on the exhaust throughout the mid-range all the way to .650 lift., on the intake there is not a huge difference.
i just dont see the need of spending additional 1.2k for the mast heads. both of the heads have .750 deck on them.
any inputs???

Hot Rod magazine tested various ls heads on a 408ci motor and the Mast heads produced 1hp more
The TFS heads did however have more average hp and tq, but overall both heads performed alsmost identically.
Given the price difference and being forced induction I would choose the TFS heads.
