My buddy has the GMperformance CnC heads on his car. I have a call into him to check on his car and I'll report back what #'s he has.

He called back. He's got 243's. These were purchased from GM Performance a couple of years ago when GM CnC Ls6 heads were pretty hot, before AFR's were so popular.

The 799 on the passenger side is stamped at the firewall end, and the 243 on the driver's side is stamped on the firewall end as well, with nothing stamped in the same location on the forward end of either.

243 vs. 799 heads talked to GM research tonight.
I talked to Bob (Gohard777) and Mr. X. There is no difference between the two heads. The numbers tell what original mold the casting came from. 243 mold was done at GM Research, the 799 mold is used by other vendors. The same vendor will have 243 and 799 molds. The numbers are just a GM system for when the mold was made. If a head had a problem it helps them track down where the problem started. The only difference between the heads is production variance. Case closed. Thanks to Bob and Mr. X. Mr. X machined the first 243 heads himself at GM Research.

Now that is solved we can focus on the problem of low dyno numbers. First, that is pretty good numbers for the mods you have done, would be nice to be a little better. I would look at the problem in this order.1. Your tuner and the software he used, not all are alike (or good) I race a LS1 and only HPTuners software is used.
2. Fuel - Injectors and fuel pump could be a small marble in the funnel.
3. Go back and check everything on the air in take system you installed. And understand on a dyno the intake system is not going to do you much good as there is no ram air effect. (forced air)
Good luck.
