honest answer.. only heads with canted valves or recessed valves.. even stock heads don't really have sufficient ptv clearance with that cam.

and heads will gain you anywhere from 0 to 50+ hp.

I LOVE my TSP stage 1 LS6 heads.
I run side by side with AFR headed C5s... I haven't ran a TFS headed C5 yet so I don't know about them.
