Default What heads do you suggest?

ok guys i got the ts 224/224 .581/.581 112 cam in my truck along with some other mods but now i want a better set of flowing heads for my cam rather than the stock 706's,ive also been thinking about getting my heads milled but the money i would be spending i would be better off and just buying some from the prices ive been getting, so what heads do yall think would work good with this cam, ive been looking at some on texas speed, i think their the stage 2.5's they seem to flow pretty good but i figured i would get some opinions from yall guys before i went and bought something.

Give Richard at West Coast Cylinder Heads a call. He has the best product and customer service, hands down!

what kind of price range are you looking at? The patriots are cheap and perform well, L92's flow really good, and there are a lot of others out there. It all depends how much power you want and what you are willing to spend.

A little more than your price range, but WCCH has some great Edelbrock heads designed for 4.8/5.3s. Or you could go with his Stage I heads that flow a little less but are a lot cheaper. Either way, your first call should go to Richard at WCCH. He won't steer you wrong.

He can tell tell you what will work best for your set-up in regards to what your looking to do. But I guarantee that after talking to him you'll want him to do the work for you. Kinda like paying $1500 to bang the local chubby chick or pay more for the prom queen.
In any case he'll set you straight, after that you'll know what to look for.

With $1500 you could find yourself a 6.0 engine and you would really notice the diffrence. Just a thought.
