I'd go with their stage 1 heads with a mild Comp cam. I've heard nothing but the best with their products, thats what I'll be going with when I do my build up.

Go with Fox Lake without a doubt. No point in going with Stage I heads though, get the Stage II heads.

I have been looking at the fox lake heads as well...Do they modify the combustion chamber? eg. will these heads on a stock '03 GT block drop the compression? also if using an aftermarket cam with stock lift (.550) valve projection shouldn't be a problem should it? even if the duration is longer than stock?
