The HP is Ok I was pushing that in an LS1 h/c package through an A4 before I went with an E85 conversion

I would seriously think of 243s to let that 6.0 breathe or if in the budget aftermarket heads like PRC or TFs.

Then what you have to see is what application is this car going to be, secondly what type of cam are you going to use next, power adder(N2O) or FI. The FAST 90 will work well with 243s very well specially if some one like Advanced Induction or TEA does the work and the cam matching.

What cam are you working with? (specs)

honestly you downgraded heads from stock LS2 heads which were comparable to the 243 LS6 heads. thats pretty good for a basically cam only LS2

Nothing is going to get you power gains like a good set of heads. The only thing that will do better is like I said a power adder or FI.

Good Luck.

budget?

AFR 205s, TFS 215s or 220s, PRC 215s....all great heads.

even some budget ported ls6 from Thunder for $1100 would be huge gains with that setup
