Get off the net and finish all my heads up.
Well, someone has to pump up the sales on the new "TFK" 243 program...

Maybe you should make a new post about the new "TFK" heads, along with the 450 RWHP unlocked dyno graph. I'm sure there are lots of people who would pay a few hunderd more dollars for 30 RWHP more then what some of these budget LS6 programs are offering.

Dont a great set of PP LS6 heads with springs only run a $1000 for pair??

and that anything OVER 600 cfm is a moot point as the engine cant really use that air flow at that level? air flow at 200, 300, 400 and 500 lift is more important and benificial

Our CNC ported 243's with oem valves and our Patriot Gold kit run $1095.00 plus shipping. This includes new oem head bolts. These heads flow great and will provide the perfromance you want at the price you need. If you have any questions, please let us know.

I would love to see a LS6 style head shootout, but I'm sure it's quite hard to organize and have done.... Picking a head is even harder than picking a cam if you don't have unlimited funds.
