how much you wana spend?

you could do a simple port/mill of your stockers or get some 243s that have been worked on or some good aftermarket heads. plenty of options. just depends on how fast you want to go! (a.k.a. how much you can spend...)

[CaptTrevStarr]

dont mind spending money just its my daily driver and would like it to be quick and painless...lookin at patriots at jegs for round 800..just i dont know much bout heads and specs for a stock truck..dont wanna turn a relativally small issue into a huge problem...

thank you

Frenchy! Have u had any problems with these heads as of yet? Do they do what they claim as far as hp gains? How is the drivability of these heads? I apologize in advance. I know the mechanics but not the specs.

Thank you

Also its says for ls3/ls6 motors? Are these "interchangeable" heads for ls motors?

It says ls2/ls6, at least the ones I looked at. I think I'm going to go with those too! Good price!

[o2camaross]

I believe it says ls2/ls6 bc they use 243 castings. They will fit your 5.3 and probably get you close to 10:1 cr. You can mill them too if you want

[CaptTrevStarr]

your right....my typo there...thank you!!
