As far as bang for the buck, why suggest stock LS6 heads when you can get Patriot Performance, TEA, Precision Porting ......heads that flow much better for about the same coin. Heck, the new Dart heads are also in the same price range, and should rival or exceed the almighty AFR heads. If someone were patient, they could also wait on the LS7 style truck head designed for smaller displacement than the LS7.
