best heads for my cam
best heads for my cam What would you guy's suggest what would be the best set of heads for my cam I got a comp cam custom grind its a 224/224/565/565/110+4 I was thinking some pp 243's but not sure
Well depends on what you want to do with the car and how much you want to spend on a 346 cubic inch motor. To be brutally honest its hard to beat a set of ported 241 heads that are already on your car with just simple work because you already have them and plastic intakes are restrictive.

OP, sorry I can't directly help you from experience but if your running a stock bottom end, a set of nicely worked 243's will pair up nicely. If you already have an ls6 intake I would just save the money and keep it. If you wanted to go big or go home, a F.A.S.T. 92 will sit nice on top as well, but since it's a plastic/composite I wouldn't buy it because they don't flow well... good luck.
do what? Where did the op mention he already had 241'a because i defiantly missed it in his post. And how are plastic intakes restrictive? Do you have any idea what your talking about?

not this^^^
OP: With a smaller cam like that a stock set of 243's will work nice since they are a good upgrade over stock ls1 heads and its cheap HP without having to break the bank on porting and polishing etc. that is if money is an issue....

Plastic intakes flow less than great heads at upper valve lift levels.
If you have a a large cam, pick the best heads you can afford.
If you have a modest cam, pick the best heads you can afford.

Pretty much what I said, he has a small cam so the upper valve lift isn't a factor and stock 243's are fine....

Nice thanks for all the feed back guys! Well I've seen 243's on the for sale section go for pretty cheap about 500 so thats not to bad and I know thats what alot of people use but I just wasn't sure if it would be worth doing any thing to my 241's or just get some 243's

OP: You also can take 243's and have them milled for cheap and will give you a bit more compression and will make more power with the cam you have.
Yeah I think thats what im gona end up doing go with the 243's so if I ever go with a bigger cam ide already have the heads I just need to sell these 22's I had on my 300c lol
