LE and AI are all over the Camaroz28.com boards for being among the best for porting LT1 heads and their cam packages, but I haven't heard there name mentioned at all for their LS1 packages. What gives? Are they not as good as lets say, TSP?

All jokes aside, you need to ask a more specific question.

What're your goals, current mods, budget, a4 or M6, low end power or high end, smooth idle, rough idle, etc?

if money is not an issue i would go with hand ported AFR 205 heads and custom cam from race-prep, otherwise i would go with TSP stage 1 LS6 heads with CNC valve job and 233/239 112lsa cam.

ETP heads and a custom cam from New Era Performance gets my vote. Mike can hook you up right.
