Remember, don't worry too much about the numbers, worry about how it runs and performs.
I agree with wytry: Don't get stuck on the dyno numbers. That stalled auto won't be a sdyno queen like the 6 speed manual cars are!
For a budget oriented combo, the PRC Stage 2.5 LS6's will be a great way to go! We have them on sale for a tax time deal currently too!

If you have a set of 243 heads then the best value would be to send the heads to TEA for a stage II port job. Combine the heads with a Fast 102 intake and tb including all the prerequisite bolt ons and you will be over 450+rwhp with proper tuning.

The only PRC's that are priced anywhere near the AFR's are the aftermarket castings....the ported GM castings are substantially lower in price than those are, and represent the "bang for your buck" heads!
