Default L92 Cylinder Heads

What is a L92 cylinder head and how does it compare to an LS6 head?

The L92 heads blow the LS6 heads away but they require a 4 inch bore. Here's a few threads on my build and driving impressions.

The L92 head is the new hot head from GMPP, it is based on the truck head, but has great flow. The L92 is also a great deal at about $800 assembled with valves etc. It is designed for the LS2 / LS7 motors and needs a 4 inch bore, so no LS1 stockers will work.

The stock untouched L92 heads flow just about the same as my TEA Stage 3 6.0L heads. They awesome for the price!
