Looking for head to match cam .
I'm getting a cam that's a 214/222-559 566 117.5 an I wanted some heads to match it so I wanted to hear it from the pro's so what do you think.

[QUOTE=Darkman;15344198]I would look at Trick Flow 215s or Trick Flow 220 as cast from Total Engine Airflow, or 243s ported by either Total Engine Airflow or Advanced Induction.[/QUO
So it don't matter what the numbers are on a pair of 243's as long as they are ported an it don't matter if they cfm numbers are to high ?

The heads I listed flow almost as much at 0.550 lift as they flow at 0.600 lift, so your cam's lift is enough to capture the benefit that those heads offer. Also, both TEA and A.I. can match 243s with your intended use.
(I have an EPS 218/230/0.600 lift cam with TFS 215s.)

I don't think an increase in compression, all else equal, hurts gas mileage. My LS6 gets 2 mpg better on the highway with the cam/heads/increased compression setup than it did when stone stock. Around town the same setup however, has destroyed my gas mileage because I can't keep my foot out it.

I'd bet the Lingenfelter cnc'd Edelbrock castings would really compliment
that lil cam. At only 203 cc volume the average torque would kill the rear
hides. Any cnc'd 243s will have mid 220s cc of volume and good flow #'s
but slower port speed at low RPMs. AFR 205s are real nice also.

I would look at sending my heads of to A.I. or go with a stage one PRC LS6 head if you want to buy some outright. I would not mill any further for several reasons....but basically on a street car I find it a better option to not mill.

I agree with that statement. That cam is small and AI porting/VJ will benefit it well. Mill to 62cc

What are you looking to achieve? From what I have read in this post, I would suggest our 205cc head or the 220cc "as cast" head.
