Default Which Heads with F13 Cam?

I'm thinking of running an F13 Cam with a 112 LSA in my Iroc just wondering if I should run Ported 5.3's (706 Casting) or Ported 243's. It's kind of a budget build for me so I'm not trying to run any special heads. I'll be running either a Circle D or Vig Stall with a built trans. Any Suggestions? I also have a G5X4 Cam that I can run instead. What do you guys think?

Matt

You might want to talk to Alan about his cam, I had it with Absolute Speed stg. 2 5.3 heads. with a fast intake it made 435/405 rear wheel. This was with a set of very shitty headers.

The FM13 will be much more pleasant to drive around town and much more TQ'y. I'd definitely run that over the X4.

If you're on a budget, send some GM castings to A.I. They have the most budget friendly packages out there right now, and make more power than 98% of everyone else porting GM castings.

A set of Livernios Motorsports Stg II 243 LS6 Heads will do just fine. No core exchange .Just call them and your heads will be at your door in 2 days. I think they are still priced at $1400.00 . They work just fine for me .

As for daily driving my F13 is a 114 and my car drives great .
