Default Heads to help my cam??

Ive got a TSP torquer 2 cam that has yet to be installed but now ive saved some money and decided to throw some heads on the car. Im thinkin about TSP's PRC LS6 cnc ported heads or their PRC 5.3 heads. Does anybody know a good set of heads for a reasonable price that will give me good power??

You can't beat TSP's LS6 heads for the price. For a little more ($500 bucks or so I think), you could look into Dart 205s or TSP PRC stage 2.5 5.3L heads.

The 205s have the benefit of being an aftermarket casting with a smaller intake runner which (I think, not positive) helps torque curve and overall numbers. The 5.3L head will have higher compression to help bump up the power. The LS6 heads will have a huge intake runner but still flow very well. I think if you talked to TSP about the LS6 heads they could help you get the most compression out of that head by offering a milled/thicker gasket option. All would be a good addition to that cam, it just depends on what you want to spend.
