I plan on getting the TR224 cam and wonder which heads would work better for my setup.
I have a 00 TA A4 4000k stall, 3.73's, pacesetter LT's, SLP lid & maf.
I plan on milling the heads about .030 over and want to get 11's. Which head would be better for my plans, or should I just get some 243's?
Thanks in advance.

I heard that the 5.3 heads (862) will boost compression up but they dont flow as good as the ls1 heads for some reason. Is this true or was I miss informed?
I was going to mill the 241's .030 to boost the compression and keep the same flowing head, but I dont know if I will run in PTV problems. I have a extra set of stock ls1 head at my disposal, or should I buy some 243's?

You got that backwards I think. The 243 flow better than the 241. If you already have the 241 and there milled, I would just stick with thows. Your not going to see alot more power with the 243 and that small of a cam.
