heads for ms3

i currently have 853 series heads i would like just a little bit more power bc im going to be spraying it. so i am not looking for a all out head. im currently making 385 through a flowmaster muffler. im getting a cutout welded on this week and getting it dynoed friday. i would like around 425 at the wheels with the heads so then i can spray a 125 shot safely and get to the safe 550 at the wheels. what heads would you reccomend on a very tight budget that would fit. there is a sponsor with some ported 241 heads for 500 would those fit?

+1 on the PRC heads. they dont brake the wallet. but if your on that much of a budget just get the ported 241 castings for 500 bucks. thats a good deal.

Let them know you are running the MS3 and they will recess the valves for better PTV

Looking at Texas Speed site, the PRC Stage 1 LS6 head has great flow numbers and is very reasonable cost, even with upgraded springs.
