I bought a short block off of a member here and I'm starting the hunt/saving for heads I'm just looking to see if getting some oem aluminum heads or going with a aftermarket brand is preferred/better my end goal currently is to have a procharged lt1 with close to 600hp

Can be done with ported stockers. All depends on what you wanna spendQuote:

One thing to remember is that most aftermarket heads have a thicker deck surface than stock heads. Can handle more boost down the road if you decide to up the power. With that said, there are plenty of boosted engines out there with worked stock heads in your HP range. I'm one to always plan ahead.

Stock heads here, does ok power wise.
But, if you can swing it without sacrificing bottom end or tune money, get aftermarket heads.
Ok I know I say I just plan for 500-600 hp, will eventually want more like anyone else, what aftermarket heads are a preferred brand? What stock head numbers are the aluminum I keep forgetting the numbers.
I would contact Lloyd Elliot. He will point you in the right direction. I have a set of his TrickFlow 195X's sitting on the shelf that he did for me. Haven't got my build together yet but I can tell you that they are a work of art and flow very well. He can spec a custom cam to match it all also.

The only thing that sucked was 1200 bucks in shaft mounted rockers...
LTXtech.com IS my drug...
