Default Please recommend Heads!

I am looking to get a 228/228 .588/.588 114lsa cam from tsp for my 01 camaro ss m6.

Please recommend a set of heads that will match very well with this cam. I am looking for a setup that is street friendly, produces great power down low, and will be seeing the track a few times a year.

I will also be ordering a fast 92/92 setup along with this h/c package and am looking to spray as well...

Current Mods also include asp underdrive, lt's and custom 3" exhaust, lid, 3.73's.

AFR or TFS is where I would put my money.
I'm running AFR 205's and a 228/232 cam and I put down 450/420, no track times yet, I have sticky clutch syndrome.

Best of luck.

I'd consider the PRC heads as well. The Stage 2.5 5.3L head is always a popular choice because of its price and with the relatively small intake runner it makes great power without spinning alot of RPM. Also the newly revised PRC LS6 heads have a 226cc intake runner that has been gaining popularity!

Let us know if we can help with anything at all!
