Current mods are wet nitrous kit, pp tb, LT+full exhaust,3.73s in a strange 12 bolt, FTL stage 4 trans,full bmr suspension, catch can. I was wondering it i should do a vrx5 cam kit $800+ported west coast pro 243 heads $2200+ls6 intake $300ish or?????? Do you know of a better setup for $3000-$3500. Im stuck on the pro heads they just tested them in a mag i just read and they made awesome #s so thats staying.

Personally, if I were spending $2200 on heads, it wouldn't be 243s.

Not listed - but I'm assuming you have a stall?

I do it's a yank 3000 for the nitrous. What heads do you suggest? The mag i read tested 50 different head combos and on set of ls2 heads the ls2 heads made the most tq, but the wc pro heads made the most hp, they also flow tested them its a good article

What were the specs for the test? That's a LOT of money for stock castings. AFR and other aftermarket heads are around that.
