6.0 Heads VS LS6 heads
Assuming that I could run the same level on compression due to piston selection which head would be better for a Naturally Aspirated/Nitrous 347 Motor?
Are there any Pro's of going to the 6.0 Head besides price? What about Con's, could the larger Combustion Chambers lead to any problems?
Thanks

I personally think the 6.0L's are hard to beat. Like you mentioned you should be able to get the same compression with piston selection. According to test TR did awhile ago the 6.0L head showed better low to mid lift #'s than the LS6 head, but the LS6 head outflowed the 6.0L head in peak airflow, but not by much. These test were done on stock 6.0L and LS6 heads if I remember correctly. I am sure a good head porter could get the 6.0L heads to flow identical to the LS6 heads peak and still outflow in the low to midlift areas. For my FMS 409ci build Futral suggested I go with 6.0L heads for two reasons. Lower price and the 6.0L heads can perform just as well as the LS6 heads up top with a proper port job. You can use the money you save by purchasing the 6.0L heads towards something else. Like the new LSX or a direct port nitrous system.

That's an interesting point you make, how much of a horse power difference would the extra 11 CFM @ peak be? and is there any mid lift loss?
Right now it looks like a 347 w/ 11.5 compression with either head would run great but I'm still searching for answers. What heads are all the 9 second 347's running? LS6? 6.0? 5.3? and of course who ported them
