Greg at Kong Performance is using them on his ZR1. He has an LSR 427, ported 2650, meth injection,solid roller cam, etc except no n2o. It is truly the definition of max effort. He has run mid 8s at 175ish.


When I bought a ZR1 in 2018, Frankenstein had just announced the new heads. I called them for an ETA and they didn't have one. I then got a set of AFRs from Tony Mamo. Be advised, ported LS9s are making the same hp as aftermarket ported heads. I do think once you start upping cubic inches and making other changes, the aftermarket heads should shine more. However, most people with ZR1s are still on SBE and the ported LS9s are making the same power as those with aftermarket heads.

I believe all aftermarket heads are taller than stock LS9s. If you are using ZR1 accessories, you'll have to space the alternator up and clearance either the alternator bracket or the valve cover. On the driver's side, you have to clearance the valve cover to clear the PS bracket/pump. I am using Mamo AFRs on my ZR1 and had to do all that.

I would love to see an HP shootout between the F310s, M311s, and other aftermarket heads with all things else being equal.

Tbf, i've seen soo many cars with F710, M311 struggling with the stock ls7 style rockers because of the weak casting, but it FLOWS.. their data sheet for the ported ls9 heads is a pretty impressive, mines ported by ahp 7 years go and the flow numbers what they gave me is so close to it.. i'm a little bit confused if its worth it to swtich to the F310 or M311 or just stick with the Ahp port
