are ported LS6 heads worth the money? should i spend time and money on a set of ported LS6 heads or have MTI houston port my stock LS6 heads or should i step up and justify the extra money on a set of AFR's or equivilant?
money is alittle tight because of a zero oil pressure problem but im already in the car, whats your opinions?

If you were to get a set of TSP PRC heads, they will just be worked over LS6 heads. The LS6 heads are a upgrade head & with some good port/machine work they are hard to beat for the pricing. Now if you got the money to drop for AFR go ahead, but on a budget LS6 heads are the way to go.

Most importantly they are a great bargain.

Absolutely, they are worth the money! With the right setup, these heads will perform great. More times than not, they will make the same if not more power than many of the big-named heads available today with half the price. Jump on our site and take a look at the PRC heads. We have several options available to meet any needs you might have. You might also take a look in the dyno section for some recent results!

I know I am kinda late on this thread, but Jon is exactly right when he says "More times than not, they will make the same if not more power than many of the big-named heads available today with half the price."
Lots of people believe you have to buy an AFR or a Dart etc to make power, and that is so far from the truth it's funny sometimes.

How about stepping up to the claims with some proof?
