Here's an interesting case. I have a 10/30/2006 build date ...and one of each head. The passenger-side casting is a 243 and the driver's-side (viewable just underneath and behind the alternator) is a 799. Obviously, I'm hoping that the CNC-finished heads are determined to be the same part.

I think that what needs to be confirmed is what is a 799 head? Flow, cc's, etc.
What engine was it designed for, why the change at GM, etc.
It was deliberate at GM for sure, there's a reason.
They are talkin about it here as well http://www.digitalcorvettes.com/foru...ad.php?t=73468
One thing is for sure, the 2007 C6 will go down in history with this quirk.

And I believe the 05 Tahoe 5.3 has more hp than the 02 Tahoe, 25 more hp.
My casting number is 862. So maybe the 799 are refined heads for 07. Let keep an eye on the stock dyno number.
