Another heads question....
Sorry for another repeat of a very popular post, however I did a search and didn't get a lot of information regarding heads to match my cam, mods, etc.
I just did my cam swap and am quite pleased. Now it's time to take the next step....heads. I really need my car to be reliable as a daily driver, so street manners are very important for me. My cam choice was relatively mild compared to some of the other options out there because power down low is also very important to me. I'm hoping to pick up a solid 30 rwhp with a quality set of ported heads. Cost is somewhat of a concern, and depending on what it will likely cost to get the heads I want, I might actually go with a full N20 setup first (as $1,500 would get me a quality 150 shot installed with ALL of the safety features).
You guys have any heads recommendations? I've considered simply porting the LS1 heads, purchasing ported LS6 heads and I've also checked out the PP Stage 2 5.3 heads as well as the AFRs. I imagine the AFRs would net the biggest gains, however that comes with a steep price tag. Are there any more cost effective alternatives that might net what I'm looking for? Thanks!

Didn't get a ton of good info from the dyno section. Anyone else have any feedback regarding which heads might be a good fit for my setup and the criteria above. Thanks!
