Default Who all makes stage 3 heads?

I don't see alot of companies offering a stage 3 head. I know the big names like GTP, ARE and MTI all have them but where's everyone else at? And by stage 3 I mean a 6.0 liter head with at least 2.05 intake valves. I get email messages all the time saying well our stage 2 is the same as their stage 3. Just curious...looking for a nice set of heads on my budget.

MTI, ARE and LPE all have Stage 3 heads i believe. Almost all the Stage 3 heads are for larger bore motors like 3.80"+ bores. Everyone says "our heads flow ___% better than everyone else" but who can you believe? I'd mainly stick w/ those big 3 up there, since all of them have some fast as sin cars out, and im sure some of the other sponsers have Stage 3 heads aswell, keep looking, im sure you'll find some more

The former reply was correct in stating that almost all Stage III heads are for large bore generally 4.00 or larger.

I am going with MTI stage III but I will have a 4.030 bore so unless you have a bigger stroker motor or such you will only need stage II

We offer Stage 3 heads. What is your application? Our Stage 2 heads have 2.055 valves already you want stage 3 porting in those or we can put in bigger valves. On a 5.3, 6.0, or LS6 head. Oh and we are offering them on special NOW check the sponsor section and e-mail or call for stage 3 pricing.
