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
