What are the best heads for a stock cubed LS1????
Like the title says, I'm looking for the best heads available for a stock bottom end LS1 for my 99 Camaro SS.
Best as in most HP and torque. Not too concerned about getting the cheapest heads, just looking to make at least 450rwhp (with all of the standard bolt-ons, full exhaust, etc.).
Thanks.

To me "best" is in your own opinion. The "best" hp heads may not neccesarily be the best under the curve torque or hp heads. Also your heads should be paired with your cam, heads make power but they make a lot more with the right cam. Again "best" is a somewhat open adjective. That being said my buddy runs the afr 205s and they are strong with his set-up

Anyone heard anything about the Edelbrock heads? I am really trying to go with old school companies whenever possible. If for no other reason than to guarantee my parts never even sniff an Asian country. I have used their stuff on some old muscle cars I have had and could not have been happier. I am tempted just to go and get them regardless but would love to hear from someone who has either taken the plunge or knows someone who has...even read an article.

edelbrock is making a porter's series head you could send it to someone like curtis boggs or darin morgin at profiler they can match the head with the rpm range and camshaft but for a off the shelf head don't sell chevy performance short

-PRC stage 2.5 5.3 heads
-Torquer 2 cam or the MS3 cam
- Fast 90/90
- full basic boltons
-The auto car put down 441whp and 398trq on a mustang dyno with a yank SS 3600 stall unlocked! So more around 455whp or more
-The m6 cars put down around 460whp and 402trq
See those are good size cams! Well with trick flows the more $$$ route one of my fiends that had a set of Ported ls1 heads i think prc and a little Tr230 cam put down 430whp with basic boltons. Well the only thing he swapped out was his heads to some trick flows and he gained 33whp over the cheep ported ls1 241 heads. with a bigger cam you can get 500whp easy with the trick flows on stock block

A set of Ls6 heads done by one of the top head porters is hard to beat. It all depends on what your goals are, and how much you want to spend.

Thanks for the replies.
Yeah, when I said "best", I basically mean which heads will get me down the 1/4 mile the fastest. So, big HP with a nice HP and torque curve.
It seems that Trick Flow seem to be heads that will do this.

-PRC stage 2.5 5.3 heads
-Torquer 2 cam or the MS3 cam
- Fast 90/90

-The auto car put down 441whp and 398trq on a mustang dyno with a yank SS 3600 stall unlocked! So more around 455whp or more
-The m6 cars put down around 460whp and 402trq
