What heads would you guys recommend with mods in sig and a LS6 intake which is being installed in a few days.

I'm on a budget so I'm considering the best gains for the money!


Thanks guys!

 

All these smart people on here and nobody has any ideas? lol

 

i´ll say TFS 215cc

had 232.234 595.598 112 cam and made good good power, and i have seen many more whith 346ci and those heads and made fantastic power.

But there are more goods out there....

good luck

for a budget ide say the PRC 5.3 or LS6 head. go check out texas speed's site. they have lots of package deals. and if they dont have the package you want on the site just call them.

 

TFS are pretty expensive lol but I have been looking at the 5.3's and the ls6's just didn't know which would be better

 

would I see decent gains with a set of 243's?

 

i have tsp 5.3 with ms3 cam and it will make some power when i get a tune. i have the stock set off my car i will sell for $210 shipped and i think they were 241's

 

^how do you have 243's stock? f-bodies never came with 243 heads. they only ever came with 853 or 241 head castings. your stock '01 heads should be 241's...

 

If you have 243's stock for $210 I'll take them! But more then likely they arn't. Pm'd anyways.

 

There seems to be a large lack of reading comprehension on the boards these days.

To answer the original posters question about budget minded heads:
-PRC (Sold through TSP)
-Patriot
-TEA (Total Engine Airflow)

All 3 of those companies offer cylinder heads below $1500, and all 3 offer castings that don't require $400 rockers like the TFS. Check those out, make the calls to the shops and voice your goals. Then go from there on who makes you feel most comfortable.

Moving this to internal.

 

i said i think they were 243's but i couldnt remember what came stock on an 01 sorry! now we all know they just cam with 241's

 

anymore ideas guys?

 

I just picked up PRC 5.3 Stage 2.5 heads which will be going on this week, I'll let you know how they are

 

if your on a budget the 5.3's are a great choice. I'm running the 233/239 cam with a fast intake and made numbers in sig. Great driveability also. I'm happy with my purchase.

 

which 5.3's? stock or some ported TSP's?

 

Unported 5.3's won't come close to that power. Evertbody ports 5.3's btw so research will help if you go that route.....

 

agreed a hair more than budject but excellent bang for the buck would be the tea ls6 stg 2.0s...

if you are looking for a hair cheaper go with the 5.3 tsp's...or a set of stock 243s that are milled some...

 

Yeah I have been looking at the 243's. Just don't know what kind of gains to expect from them being stock

 

Me too and will also bump up your compression!

 

I don't understand going budget on heads. Just save your money until you can afford what you want. No need to rush into something if you are hurting for cash. A lot of people buy stuff on the boards and then realize they couldn't afford and then take a loss just to get rid of it. Keep your eyes open, you may find a set of TFS 215's for sale by someone that needs the cash.

TFS 215's is my vote for when you can afford them. Budget and Heads shouldn't be in the same sentence unless big comes before budget. JMO.

Keep in mind how much power potential there is in a good set of heads vs some avg brand.
