what places out there are known for making the top notch heads?

 

afr, as, cartek, ap, futral...pretty much look to the right and you'll find plenty of them

 

what the TEA site, hell i cant find it. i keep reading they are good, how about them?

 

AFR's are the best from what i've gathered. I've got a set on the way.

 

I have heard TEA is one of the best heads money can buy!
That is why I ordered a set, they should be here this week!

 

whats the TEA web site?????

I have heard a guy that does head work sayin AFR's wouldnt be the first on his list, and aren't the prices high for them?

nvm afrs arent too bad

 

Yeah, afr's are pricey. A little over $2000 for the 205's. I suppose you could always wait and see the edelbrocks or dart heads that are supposedly coming out.

 

i dont wanna go broke gettin heads and the TEA's are real damn expensive. i still want to have money left so i can put gas in the car lol

 

patriot heads are lookin better and better, no core and under 1500

 

Did you check out MTI, I think they might have something in your price range, also I don't remember TEA being "too damn expensive." Do some more research and use the search button.

 

i used the search button and couldnt find what i was looking for, trust me thats the first place i go. TEA ls6 heads as i read it were something like 2200 plus 1200 core. lookin at ls6 heads. might have read it wrong so correct me if im wrong. yes i checked out mti also, 1200 bucks for the ls6 heads also, like i said, too damn much lol

 

There is always Ebay, which most will not recremend...

 

yeah i know it i wont go there, im just liking patriot more and more, whats you word on them? like i said i have read it all and i hear something good something bad about everyone. but tahts just it no hardcore facts of why they are bad. any input?

 

patriot's ls6 heads are not ls6 heads...thus the price difference.

your best bet IMO are TEA 5.3 heads. you can't go wrong. there is a brand new set in the forsale section for 13xx.00

 

PRC heads should be coming out soon. They're priced about the same as patriots and had some good results.

 

what is the difference in the patriot "ls6" head and a real ls6 head?

 

patriot's ls6 style heads are 6.0l truck heads that have been welded up(chambers) and remachined. I personally do not like that much welding on a head, even though they say they re heat treat them.
Da search on each place that ports heads on here and see what company has had many failures. You will then understand why prices are cheap. Some people will say But x company has great customer service cause they stood behind the product when the cheap valve let go or the spring broke. IMO the company that has great customer service is the ione that never used cheap valves or springs to begin with.
When it comes to cylinder heads you get what you pay for. The cylinder head is the most important part of an engine,if your going to skimp on an engine do not skimp on the cylinder heads!!!

 

Why would you want LS6 heads? They are A LOT more expensive if you don't have cores, and from what I have seen, do not offer that much of a benefit. I am going with some 5.3L heads, which will up the compression a little bit and give me the option of running a larger cam without flycutting the pistons. Just my 2 cents.
