I haven't seen a set of C5R heads for sale in a long long time. I know cartek stage 5 heads are getting 575RWHP out of ther heads with Fast 90 intake and TB. Those heads are 4500

The best heads are the ones that best fit your application. What is your application and the goals of the applicaton?

Yup! In the case of my cheap ***, the "best" heads for my 427 buildup are some year old Absolute Speed Stage II LS1 heads that only flow around 300 cfm. Luckily if you get the bottom end right, you can change heads all you want later.
