Default Which heads?????

I've got a 6.0 for my Camaro and can't decide which heads to use. I got the 317 that have been shaved 30 thousands. I also have the stock 241 heads. Which would be better.

I'd use the 317 milled .030" over the 241.

Like what? It's a pretty stock setup so I didn't see point in aftermarket heads. With right cam they say 450hp easily.

Properly done 241s have hit 450 rwhp many of times.

Sell both and get 243's. You'll be damned close by the time you sell them that you might only come out of pocket a hundred bucks or so.
