Default What heads do I need?

So I am wanted to purchase some new/used heads for my 2000 T/A. The problem is I'm not really sure what heads I should go with. I talked to a buddy of mine and he told me that if I wasn't thinking about doing forced induction later on down the road I wouldn't want any heads larger than 5.7 liters. Now I'm not really sure if I should go with 5.3 heads or 5.7 heads because of the compression ratios and which one I would get the most power out of. Also I am not sure what manufacturer to go with. I plan on going with a mild cam with the heads so any suggestion will help! Thanks in advance guys.

are you cammed yet..?


The question is too loaded to give a proper answer. If you want honest opinions, list goals, cam sizes, driveability concerns and etc.

Personally, i believe for a heads/cam car, you can't beat AFR 205cc heads. Pricey, but well worth it.

Actually, it would help you even more if you did all this in the 'Internal Engine Section'.........Good Luck
