Default Looking for some heads

Looking for a good set of heads for my car. Mods are T2 cam, dual springs, pacesetter lt's, ory, and looking to get either a ls6 intake or a fast set up.

Car is kind of a daily driver. Work for me is 5 mins away if I don't have my work van.

Thinking about getting the AFR's, but not sure what size chambers and everything to get.

Looking for some recomendations. Hopefuly something that can bolt right in there and make over 450 rwhp with an intake.

Thanks

450 RWHP is optimistic with that cam.....id say around ~430 is a pretty good guess. i'd go with TSP 5.3's or their LS6 heads....

Yea the more I read the more i see 450 is probably not going to happen, but I can hope.

Any reason's why you suggest those heads?

I've been outta it for a while and don't really remember what was good from a few years ago.

TSP PRC heads are top notch for the money. they arent AFR's or trick flow, but for their price, around 900 used, 1300 new..and thats in USD im guessing your from canadia, so it might be a tad more after you pay the exhcnage. no duty on car parts. check out www.texas-speed.com

With those heads, would I see a noticable difference between the fast intake and a much cheaper ls6 intake?

the thing with the FAST is, you see more of a difference with heads and a cam. general rule of thumb around here is, 500RWHP for the LS6 intake. once you surpass that, you need a FAST. but still i FAST on a mild heads and cam car will get you a few more ponies, just not as noticable if you was pushing 550 at the wheels.
