what heads for my 416ci setup???
what heads for my 416ci setup??? Here is the setup I am in the process of putting in. All I have left to do is pick out which heads to get. I want 225 AFRs but I kinda don't have $2500 laying around. What heads would you suggest? Any one have expierience with Patriot, Texas Speeds heads, or something a lil more reasonably priced not affecting performance all that much. Car is going to be naturally aspirrated and street driven quite a bit but still be able to tear it up at the track.
416ci L92 Aluminum Block 4.067 Bore
Eagle 4340 Forged 4" Crank
Scat 6.125" Forged H-beam Rods W/ ARP Bolts
Manley Forged 2618 -2cc Pistons
242/242 .595/.595 Lift Cam 112 LSA

yes my cam is very small. I actually bought the cam through you guys. I was originally going to use ported 241 heads that I already had and the springs were only rated for .600 lift so that is why I picked out that cam. But I sold the heads to my buddy so thats why I'm looking for new ones. Isn't TFS 235 more expensive than the AFRs? And I also heard you have to change your rocker setup with the TFS heads. is that true? I already bought 1.7 yella terra roller rockers
Everybody can say what they want, but there is nothing wrong with a good old set of stage 3 6.0 heads. Run a 2.10/1.60 ferrea valve in them and you move some serious air. PRC and TEA are good companies to talk to. You dont have to change your rockers or shell out the $2500+ with the other heads. That is my vote for a guy on a budget.

Look for a used set of AFR's or TFS, hard to find they go quick when. Stage 3 LS6 head isn't the least expensive cnc'ed oem head either. Cartek as well as a few others in addition to who's already been mentioned should be considered. Look at race results to see who's heads are making power.
Some stage 3's outshine other stage 3's so you need to do some research on them. Where an AFR or TFS or ET head is a proven aftermarket performer out of the box. I can swing you a deal on AFR's, I'm having a sale on them but they aren't going to be as cheap as a ls6 head still.
Issue with used heads, you don't know what your getting into. Anytime someone brings us a set of Used heads. We have them cleaned, milled, replace valve seals and check valve job, before the heads are installed, your anther $500 into them, assuming they don't need any valves, guides or springs.
i have used pretty much all the aftermarket heads except for Dart. i personally like the trickflows and WCCH edelbrock 245's . i recently built a 402 12.5:1 with Wcch Edelbrock 245's and 243-251 110lsa cam, and made 561 rwhp-503 rwtq with that combo, here is the thread with more info:

I am about tired of every post being about Trickflow or AFR everytime someone needs heads. How many of you people replying paid any attention to the fact he has a budget. This internet bandwagon BS of spewing the same thing in every post does nothing but waste bandwidth.
