head choice
After doing some resarch, am I correct to believe that in the 600hp under 5800krpm N/A range, the gen6 vortec large oval head is better than the rectangle head?

Check out the AFR 265 oval or AFR 290 Oval port these are two fantastic heads... I also think Jim Valako new head (dart) is done and I think the flow numbers are really good on it as well.

my fingers got a little happy with the redline. I will be running in the 5000 rpm max range. I have looked at the Afr heads and do like them but here is my budget. I have gen 5 502 std/std and stock bore in great shape just needs fresh bearings/ rings. It is apart now and getting tanked, it did measure great. Got it from a guy who needed money for a wedding. I have 2k max extra above and beyond cam and other must haves for the rebuild. Am i better off going with new heads (AFR) or going with a stroker kit (540) and either keeping the rect iron or selling off and grabbing gm large oval?

summit is selling them for 2200 so not out of reach, just not sure what the better option is. AFR heads or stroker kit with 088's or vortec oval heads. currently have the 088's
