Default Heads Help

I just recently ordered the Magic Stick 4 Cam with a 112LSA. I'm trying to fnd a good set of heads that will peak out my performance with it. I'm running a 99 Z28, Auto, Stock Bottom End, FAST 92MM Intake, PTM 92MM Throttle Body, FIPK K&N, PaceSetter LT's, and True Duals w/Bullets. Any Suggestions??

I would suggest maybe some Patriot heads with the welded chambers to keep compression up with out loosing PTVC.

You have damn near unlimited head choices. You can get plenty of good choices for just about 1000 bucks, but you can really spend over 3K if you want to ring out every dingle available horsepower from your mill.

We would suggest a set od our CNC ported 243 castings with oem 2.00"/1.55" valves. These heads will flow great and will provide more PTV clearance than heads with over size valves. If you use a .040" gasket with a 64cc chamber, your compression will be around 10.8-1. A set of these assembled with Patriot Gold springs will run $1095.00 per pair.

This would be my # 1 choice. For the money you cant really beat it. Plus you get that awesome Patriot customer service

just depends how much you want to spend...i just got mine done a few weeks ago with the MS4 and TFS 215s milled to 59cc chambers. Had .95" intake and .90" exhaust PTV clearances so i didn't even have to flycut.
