can I run ls1 heads on a boosted 6.0 motor? I am going to build a 6.0l iron block (lq4 or lq9) all forged stroked 408. I am going to run twin mpt70 turbos at whatever boost I can while still running pump gas. Can I use the stock ls1 heads on a setup like this or are they no good for boosted aplications? I am gong to run l92 heads and intake eventually but can not afford it right off the bat.

You can run stock style heads up through 16 psi of boost, but I would order the pistons based on what head you are planning on using, to get the compression ratio you are looking for.
By the time you get a valve job done on a set of heads, you're just about at the price of a new set of L92 heads. Bob
