Default Which heads for G5X2?

What heads do you guys recommend to run with the G5X2 cam? I'd love to have a set of AFR's but I'm don't really want to spend 2k+ for them. What budget brand heads would perform pretty decent for the money?

I would definately recommend a head with a smaller runner for that cam. Especially if you've got stock gear ratios. I went from Patriot Stage II LS6's to AFR's and the low end difference was dramatic. My advice would be to save up for AFR/TFS heads.

I vote for livernois stage 2 heads. Definately a great setup for that cam. 2k+ for an aftermarket head that usually makes the same power (sometimes less, sometimes more) just doesn't work in my head

It is stealth, gets the suckers to bite every time. They find out the drama when they hear it scream at 6800
