Are you getting the ones on your truck done or buying some from a sponsor? I have some TEA 1.5 5.3 heads going on my 5.7, which is at Thunder Racing.

There are alot of good prices out there right now.

I got 328 CFM from Nasty Performance 6.0 heads. Nate is great to deal with, try giving him a call.

I have a set of Patriot Stage I 5.3s that are on their way to Jantzer right now to be cleaned up over the CNC'd finish. I have dealt with Jantzer in the past, and I believe his track times speak for his porting ability. The price is also better then most.

Jantzer did my 6.0 heads, and he Claimed they would flow over 300 at .600" but i havn't flowed them yet and he never did either. he screwed around and smoothed like half of one combustion chamber and then didn't touch the others. i'm sending mine to a local guy around here that has some LT1 guys claiming he's the best in the land. i'm gonna have him clean the chambers up and check out Scott's work and see what they flow. i need a little more out of them then 300@.600 really from what i've been told. i would say if you're gonna just get a set done mild i would just find a shop local and have them work on them. get'em milled and ported and you're good to go without the 1500-2k price of almost ALL of the sponsors. Patriot 5.3 heads would rock on your motor though, cheap and very powerful

I would appreciate it if you could PM me with more details on your head porting deal with Scott.
