I have heard the 806 heads i have on my motor more or less suck. I have a chance to get a set of 799 heads which i do believe are the same as the 243 heads without the sodium filled valves. Would this be a good deal and better for my engine. also would i need to change the cam if i where to purchase these heads or could i keep my stock cam. It seems like a really good deal for a set of brand new stock heads for $520.00. i could slap these on the same time i install my ls6 inake that i already have sittin in the garage.

Thats the only reason i was going to get the heads if they were better then my 806. and they are stock. wasnt looking to actually produce alot of hp from these heads and would keep my stock cam. just didnt know if it would support the fI better then my 806 heads which i have heard alot of bashing on. so it would just be stock ls1 motor, with stock 799 heads ls6 intake and fI. might not even be worth the head change but thought i would ask if the 799s would be better and worth the swap . but i have decided to just go with the FI instead of the big cam and heads,stall converter, rear ......
