Default Ai 260cc ls7 heads. Anyone have these?

My fiancé has given me to go ahead to replace the heads on my recently acquired z06 with 13,xxx miles on it.
i know Advanced Inductions does good work and have lots of experience in the LS world but I haven’t found much information on people using these with the LS7

does anyone have any information or experiences with these that could offer some input?

Thanks!
Ryan

I think he was surprised you hadn't heard much AI chatter in the LS7 world. Quite a few people on here running AI heads. Tons running AHP and WCCH as well.

Lol...I stand corrected.

AI is more known for their port jobs. Probably the best flowing LA7 heads out there. If you're not doing other mods and just looking to sleep better at night knowing your valves aren't going to fail I'd go with AHP. They can leave your heads stock and replace the guides and exhaust valves for a very good price. Plus they are the only company out there using moldstar guides. Best your money can buy.

I dont even ask for permission if I know my finances are in check and it can be done.

I’m not quite sure what you’re getting at here, she was the one to suggest I replace my C5 with something newer/nicer. Since we BOTH work and share bank accounts it’s out of respect that I keep her in the loop... BUT I guess that’s just different generations.

Maybe I’ll give AHP a call, Conparing websites it seemed the Ai head gave you a lot more for less money. Thank you for the input
