Default Biggest baddest head I can get

Ive got my ported 241s sold. I'm thinking about getting the prc 227s for my forged 383 a4 car with 102/102 setup and a 200 wet shot. What is the head that I will get the most out of with just a head swap? I also have a ms3 cam and am looking for max effort heads? Please steer me in the right direction thanks

Cathedral Port 11 Degree Small Bore LS1 / LS6 CNC Assembled

there are those which are 215 cc runner. If you do a search there is a guy on ls1tech that swapped just the heads from AFRs which are a highly regarded head and picked up like 22 horse at the tire with just a head swap.

Rectangular Port LS3 11 Degree Small Bore CNC Assembled

These are if you really want to get crazy and look at the flow data its flowed on a 3.90 bore and not a 4.0 or larger like most shops rate heads with. you would need to convert your manifold with this second head but it is designed to use on your block.

PM Tony Mamo @ AFR, and talk to him about what your looking for. Hell be able to get you EXACTLY what you need, depending on your budget. Also, to make the most of them, dont use an off the shelf cam.. Tony would be able to spec you the perfect cam as well.

I also would consider getting a custom cam to match that setup, there are more powerful cams to be had then the ms3 for your setup.
