New heads........... I'm new i the FI world and need some good advice, I can't make up my mind on wich heads I want to buy for my ls1. I have recived my aps tt kit and want new heads for this project, but it seems like everybody have their own opinion what is the best way to go. I want to buy the heads that would give me the most bang for the $$$$. I want to run with the standard 348 but with forged parts, I'm also going to run more than 7psi 
( dont now how much yet ) so come on give me some input, I really need it.
If there is anybody with heads for sale that would suit my project, I would be interessted to buy
Tnx

If your going to buy, I would look at any of the heads with a thicker deck, AFR/TFS/ETP.
I am also selling my AFR 72cc 225's brand new in the box for $2K...

Well with a forged 348, proper fuel system, proper tuning, and maybe some meth you could definately hit 700 rwhp. A forged 348 with lq9's, a decent turbo cam, ls6 intake mani, meth injection and good fuel system running 14-15psi is capable of the power levels your looking for.

I would have to say the patriot heads looks like a good deal, I dont now how much deck hight is "needed" to be on the safe side to run 14-15 psi, or .................................................. .......
Come on do some brainstorming

I'll give Gunnar at patriot performance a call today to check what he has to say. Maybe he is from Norway, his first name is for sure. I agree all the things you have said about the lq9 heads, checked many other treads and they say just about the same all of them, great heads
Tnx
