Question

Which would yield most HP gain?

Wanting buy one of the following with tax return money...
1.85 Rockers
LSX 78mm Intake
Patriot Stage 2 LS6 Heads

Currently I'm at 350HP/355 TQ
..still on stock intake and heads.

Eventually, I'm going to get all 3, just wondering with my setup, which would give me the most power now... the 1.85 rockers would increase my lift to around .570s

I plan on going forced induction eventually, so thats why not going with the 90mm LSX intake.

TIA

Heads will get you the most
LSX intake next replacing your LS1 intake

Save your money and just get the FI.

It looks like you are cammed...the rockers might give you clearance issues, so I would steer clear of them until someone with a little more LS1 cam/rockers/heads/PTV clearance/valve cover clearance experience can speak up.

To answer your question straight up, heads.
I would choose another head though for that cam. TEA Stage 1 5.7's.

I would stick with the stock ratio on the rockers. $0.02

If he is planning FI, heads will only be wasted and give little gains. BOOST doesn't really need heads.
