afr and trickflow will out perform the prc heads. they will also cost alot more. if i wasnt ona budget, trick flow would be my choice. but in your situation with a 5.3, i think money could be spent better in other places.

cant compare those at all man , afr and tfs are aftermarket casting while the prc are stock cnc'ed .

the prc can work great but youll see more power from the aftermarket's . The aftermarket also has a thicker deck which is good for keeping them sealed to block with boost and nitrous.

budget heads get budget results.

This isn't for a 5.3 its for my 6.0
I was quoted 2350 for trickflow stage 2 assembled with pushrods is this a deal to jump on or does it seem a little too pricey?

2350 is about retail but your not giving enough info on them

iirc i paid about 2600 for my TEA TFS 6 bolt heads assembled with dual .650 springs . upgraded intake valves and inconel exhaust valves

There is nothing wrong with budget heads if you know how to port. I run factory heads and port them myself, but if I were spending over $1000.00 or going after big power it wouldn't be on a factory casting.
