Re: Ls6 heads? (mountainmotor)
Thank for that sight but they show the LS1 heads, not the LS6 heads. I appreciate your help. :cheers:
My reason for this is to find out wether or not ported ls1 heads 2.02 in 1.57 ex milled to .035 flowing over 300 cfm with a 10.8:1 compression ratio will make a big difference over stock ls6 heads without headers.

Re: Ls6 heads? (DEAD EYE)
Its hard to say how much better the heads are alone because they only came on the Z06s with bigger cam and better exhaust. But I estimate that they would be worth 20hp over stock LS1 heads, so you could geuss they maybe flow 10cfm more.

That Chevy HP article says the 990's (which were LS--6 service heads I believe) will flow Intake@300 183cfm --@400 233cfm -- @500 264cfm and 292@.600 Exhaust with ppipe is 140,176 198,and 204 cfm at those respective lifts..

Re: Ls6 heads? (DEAD EYE)
The 291 head (the real LS6 head) has a raised intake floor so that it is superior to any previous head. I can't comment on the 990 I have never had any on a flow bench. The exhaust on iron heads is pretty much the same.

Re: Ls6 heads? (oger)
I think y'all better clarify if you're talking about a big block LS-6 or a new LS1 based LS-6.
I started out assuming the latter, but the post went to big block by the end.
