Heads, LSX, or Spray
i have the f13 and heads, couldnt have been more happy with my choice. i went with the out of the box afr heads. i figure in the future if i want more power i can mill them some and get a 90/90 set up. although i have wondered how much power i would see out of a 90/90 set up on stock cubes. im sure i would see some but i dont knwo if it would be worth 1200+

I want to get some TEA Stage 1.5rev2 heads, but i dont know how much milling or flycutting will have to be done, with my F14 cam. As soon as i get the money together ill probably talk to TEA about how much to mill the heads. I think its smart going with the H/C setup before spray or bigger Intake setup 90/90. Also im not to found of spending 1200 for it. But i have the 78mm LSX so i know i could get 500 for it. So it would only be about 600-700 once i sell my TB also, but still dont know if thats worth it.
If you have $2,000 then you should buy a set of heads.. That would put you in the 430rwhp range or better. But, if you want to save some cash then spend $550 on a Nitrous kit from NOS, then buy a purge and a bottle warmer.. You will have 150rwhp with the flip of a switch for under $800 bucks. But, the heads would be a better investment in the long run.

i think about 15-20 over and ls6 man and ported tb. It actualy wouldnt be 1200, if you think about what you will get for your ls6 man and ported tb or what have you, you could probably get 500 for that. So your looking at about 700 bucks for about 20 rwhp. Not to shaby.
