How much do you wanna spend? I have PRC 5.3 heads on my LQ9 with a cam similar to the MS3, and it performs great for a budget setup

I don't want to spend more than $1500 on heads. I want the best heads to match my cam.

For $1500 or less you get the 5.3 or LS6 heads from Texas Speed

if it comes with gaskets and bolts included and shipped for that price or close to it that looks like a good deal.

Excellent idea as well. I'm very happy with my AI 243's. Ended up with the 226cc CNC package. My second choice would have been PRC 5.3, which are nice for the price too.
