Default I have two sets of heads. Which set should i use.

ok here is my dilema, i ordered a turbo kit and i can't figure out which sets of heads to use. 1st set i have is stage2 patriot performance ls6 heads that have a 59 cc which i know will be way to much compression even on dished piston. How hard would it be to open up the chambers to 72cc? is it even worth it?

2nd set is some 317 stock 6.0 heads that i want to get ported and polished if i decide to use them. what companies do yall reccomend to port them?

so what should i do? i plan to run 15psi max and try to make 700rwhp with a t-76 turbo. any help would be great. i need to get all this done before my turbo kit gets here and also the motor the heads will be goin on is a 370ci. motor. thanks

6.0 and port them, sell your ls6's and use the money for the port.

We can open up your 59cc heads to around a 68cc with no problem. To re CNC the chambers would run around $300.00. We can also port your 317 heads. The pricing will vary depending on how you want the heads, just ported, assembled, etc. Give us a call and we can go over the options.
