LS6 243's are pretty common on corvette forum but really any 243/799 head will work great... AI or TEA both do sweet work so....

those are 2 of the 3 places i am considering. TEA is at the top of my list. they seem to care more about the "under the curve area" than most. and since i have a 100% street car thats what im shooting for. so im pretty sure TEA will get my heads

^^^^^^ they are the exact same head casting. the ls6 243s just have sodium filled valves so the valves are a bit lighter
