Who has the best aftermarket heads for a N/A car

After many months of owning my 2002 WS6 M6 car I am looking to do a head and cam swap. I used to own a 95' T/A and I had bought the now infamous Pace Parts LT4 "Hot" kit. Needless to say it was not so hot! So this time i figured I would ask you guys who do you think sells the best head/cam package? My plans for the car are to keep it N/A so the cam will not need to be nitrous or blower but a strong N/A cam.

Thanks.

MTI and GTP make the best heads for LS1s. The cam is up to you. So many cams on the market, just up to you.

Thanks for the info. Any suggestions on Cams. I am looking for max power but this is also my daily driver so nothing too wild. Thanks again.

GTP is considered to make the best power, but at a price. For about half the money the TEA haeds are a very close second from what I have read. The Absolute Speed heads have performed well in several dyno's I have seen. If I were in the head buying market, I would buy a set of the Absolute Speed stage II's while their 10% off special is still running.

As stated, cam choice is complicated. The TR224 is a known performer, and with a 114 LSA it will be very driveable.

I agree with chuck, GTP is very good and IMO MTI is also pretty good but if you're looking to save some money then TEA or AS is the way to go. www.totalengineairflow.com

The GP they have on the AS heads right now is a REALLY (x10) good deal. www.absolutespeed.net
I believe tomorrow is the last day though but they're still a good deal, 10% off or not.

Thunder has some of the best and probably most popular cams available. www.thunderracing.com

I need a head and cam package that will put my car into the 11's. I plan on buying Hooker LTs and reprogramming the computer. Other than that I want the motor to remain stock so the burden is gonna fall on the heads and cam to produce lots of power.

Guys

GTP doesnt MAKE any ls1 heads.. Neither does MTI or TEA etc.

There is no aftermarket head, they are all just ported sets.. You get what you pay for as far as how much work your buying.

I myself am running the ARE heads
