What brands are you using? Would you recommend them to others? Any regrets?
Alot of people just getting 243s worked over...
Some go with company's who CNC port stock castings. PRC, Patriot, etc
Then of course you have the all out companys like dart, trickflow, and afr

I've heard great things about West Coast...
2004 Silverado Crew Cab, forged iron 5.7, STS w/MP turbo, 10+ psi, FMIC, Tial 50mm BOV, Vic Jr, Snow performance meth, MTI Stealth cam .220/.220 .581/.581 115lsa, Comp chromoly pushrods, Yank TT3000 stall, LS1 Efans, 160 tstat, Trucool 40k trans cooler, 60# injectors, Walbro fuel pump, Patriot springs, Built 4l65E w/billet input & output shafts, Eaton posi, SD tuned...all installed by Klein North Automotive
They are on the list too. I just wanted to kind of separate the 3 classes of heads first off.
To me you cant compare bang for buck of a set of 300 dollar 243s milled down to match cr to say a set of trick flow heads.
Just wondering what the people using the heads are saying. Ive read a lil bit on the subject and am surprised to see that patriot. Even though extremely cheap has a decent rep. Of course there will always be a number of unsatisfied customers expecting them to perform as good as a TF.

Any other people running heads? So basically Banker is the only person with a preference on a company's heads that own the heads? Come on guys I figured there would be more people then this with diff company's and preferences

West coast and no others. Why you ask.
See the west coast cylinder head videos.
Then go look at some of NREs builds. If wcch are doing head work for these guys they are where it is at. Also superior customer service.

99RCSB Broke because I wasted thousands and thousands of dollars on my truck.
Depends on your goals and budget. I picked up over 50 hp with some trick flow 225s on my 6.0.

BUT i did get hollow stemed valves and a few extra things for the heads. i used to run patroit 5.3 heads which were satisfing for what they were and what they did, its all about what you wanna spend, trust me when i say i can afford any head out there but i wished not to since tsp cnced ported heads matched the others and flowed alittle better. if i was you and you dont have alot of dollars to spend on a NAMED brand head get the 243's but dont go cheap on who ports them.. find a well known porter and go from there
