No, you need to go back and FULLY read all the post starting with the first one…

AFR has awesome heads as do TFS, PRC, TEA and others. It’s about the combo and starting it right and not just piece milling it together. Getting the best heads you can afford and build properly from there is what makes a well thought out set up.

Checkout the hot rod magazine article just released this month. I think you'll like what the PRC aftermarket casting heads are capable of!

If your looking to save some $$ we can do you the PRC Stage 2.5 LS6 heads with a 2.04 1.60" valve combo for the standard LS6 stage 2.5 price!
Jason, I'm just trying to get a set of heads that are really good if not the best for a 346. Then after that ill buy a Cam and stall and gears.
But as of right now im looking for a VERY GOOD Set of heads.

Not trying to take no sides but most of the cars I have seen on this board with trick flow heads had higher mph.MPH =Horsepower.Sorry just my thoughts.You can't go wrong with none of these heads.Definately want to call for your needs.

I have etp 245's on a 440 LSx. For some reason I will not part with my prc 2.5 ls6 heads. I think somewhere down the road I would be sorry.

Best 346 head without a doubt in my mind is the PRC 227 small chambers. We can get you good valve drop, 227cc runners (330cfm range) and 59cc ish chambers while keeping clearance good!

That's exactly the head that helped us bump down the stock bottom end record to it's current 9.66 time.

You will be shunned by the trick flow cheerleaders with posts like that Jason.

Are there any TFS-headed cars with a stock bottom end 346 running deep in the 9s NA? Just curious.

did you get them milled to your desired chamber size?most vendors will mill and ship them for free for $1680.do a cam at the same time ,so you only have to tear it apart and tune it once.

There are BAZILLIONS of threads in here about that very subject; you can't swing a dead cat in this section without hitting three or four. TFS may be able to give you a recommendation on what cam would work well with their heads.
The patent answer on this site for a good daily driver cam seems to be the Thunder Racing 224 cam (224/224 .563/.563), or something similar.
