Default What heads on LS3 427
Going to beat this dead horse... Need help deciding on what heads to go with. Currently thinking about the TFS 255s but I'm open to opinions. Budget is $3000 +/- $500. N/A BUT may 150-200 pill it. Mostly street but occasional strip. Aggressive through a 1999 SS M6.

Going on an forged bottom end LS3 - 4.070 bore, 4.100 stroke, 6.125 rods, -8cc dish pistons, BTR spec'd cam (once I pick the heads), FAST 102/NW 102, and Kooks 1 7/8. AGAIN, I might pill it.

Any and all opinions are appreciated.

I'm not opposed to it. I would just have to sell my intake for a cathedral style intake or at a minimum replace the lower shell.

I live in corpus as well and love my 434 ls7 but since you already have the headers and fast intake id say stay with what parts you already have and talk to tony mamo about a set of heads for you

Small world. Some Mamo-fied heads sound like a good option.
