I agree with Visceral.

The differences will be small. All these shops' heads are great. Don't get caught up in the nickel and dime hp/flow differences. Support the vendor you would tend to support outside of just this. Pick the one you want to call if something goes wrong or if you need something else someday.

I have a new stg 3 port that flows 330/285 @ .600. The cost is $2200 plus cores. These heads flow 300 @ .500.

My guess is Judson @ SAM would probably be able to do the very best set of LS6 heads if $$$ wasn't an issue and you could talk him into doing you a set.
That's right!!!! I've got some puney little LS1 heads that flow 320@650 and that's where they come from. But like the man said "If you can talk him into doing a set".

just remember every flowbench is different, if someone spouts off with "my ls1 heads flow 330" well they could flow 300 on another bench...
