Best Heads for TRAK cam?
Best Heads for TRAK cam? OK I am new to the LS1 world the car I pick up Saturday has a TRAK cam and I was wanting opions on heads? It will get a P/P FAST 92mm/95mm TB too. I was looking at either the Patriot 5.3 stg 2.5 heads or the LS6 stg 3 heads. I want to not spend a fortune to I think AFR's and all the expensive ones are out. Any input would be much appreciated!! THANKS

I'm running a Trak cam with the Patriot Stg 2 LS6 heads milled 59cc. If your not willing to flycut the pistons, stick to the LS6 64cc chambered heads. I wanted the added compression so I got the milled heads and flycutted. Oh, and get ready to be replacing your valve springs every 10-12k miles. The lift on that cam pretty much maxes out the .650 springs every time it is compressed on the intake valve so it wears out a lot quicker than a smaller lift cam.

My advice is get the BEST heads available and take that 92/92 $$$$ and put toward TFS AFR or Cary's new casting(formerly ETP). Just run a LS6 IM now and pick up a 92/92 down the road. Heads will ultimately determine your power so get the best you can afford.
I wish I had done this........

What are you power goals? patriot and tea are good heads for the cost. They are about half the price of afr/trickflow.
AFR and trickflow will make more power, but its all up to you.. you can get a fast 92/92 and patriot stage II heads for the same price as the afrs with upgraded springs.
