Heads and intake? I have an 01 SLP SS Camaro M6 with 27,000 miles on it. So far i have slp long tube headers, full exhaust, 373's, subframe connectors, traction bars, and a comp cam adv dur: 279-285 / dur at .50: 231-237 / lobe sep: 112.0 / valve lift: .589-.595. i dont have any forced induction plans in the near future so i want some nice cheap heads that will go good with the cam, and give me more hp. i make 381 rwhp DYNO TUNED with the setup i have now. ive heard that lq9 heads are a cheap route to go but i want some more input on what other people think. also, i didnt know if i upgraded my heads, if i would have to get a better intake as well or what? im not wanting to blow a bunch of money right now, so if a new intake isnt needed then that would be best. thanks!

keep your stock ls6 intake and get a ported TB.stock 241 heads are ok with a good cam .or look for some 243/799 heads for $400 or less.give them a valve job($150).look at a thunder racing cam pkg.call them for a cam recommendation.go to ls1howto.com for instructions and pics.
