There aren't very many current options now that weren't out years ago...

Your post is too vague. Aftermarket casting, or factory heads? Ported or stock? Power goals?

If factory heads, try the LS6 heads. Mean little cathedral port design that makes better power than stock 241 LS1 heads.

If aftermarket, I can think of several good ones such as AFR, TFS, etc. You really can't go wrong.

Good point sorry on the info. OK I know a lot about cast heads what's good and not and other things of that sort. I don't want stock cast ls6 heads ie 243 or 799 heads. I just wanted to see what is good for price and not I know mast make a small bore head that flows really well. I also know Texas speed 227 flow well too. Honestly I was looking between the prc 227 or the ls6 stg 3. The 227 flow more but is it worth the 500 dollar price difference
