Default Heades or Intake

I need some help choosing between a FAST 90/90 set up or heads. I hear that the FAST set up may no yeild the horse power gains, cause the car is not a high horse power or a big cube car. But I was thinking that some 205cc heads, and bump the compression ratio up.

So can some please help me. Price is not a real big deal in the situation. But I would like to see the best bang for my dollar. Or the best benifit.

Car is 2000 SS full bolt ons LS6 clutch, and a 100 dry shot, 224/224 cam.

Thanks

I miss spelled heads. I know it now.

LT headers would be my first suggestion. Then heads. Might save money and just throw a LS6 intake ($300-$350, maybe less) on there for now.

You also misspelled "miss spelled" lol.

You can run the numbers on the intake to make sure it is an LS6. I think that would be worthwhile... i think there is a link with info in the newbie FAQ section.

If you are already breathing good (LS6 intake & longtubes) I would go with the heads.

You'll get a lot more out of heads than a FAST for sure.

Ok, was making sure because your signature says mid-tubes...LS6 intake does NOT have the EGR hookup behind the throttle body.
