Not sure but I don't think a whole lot. It wouldn't be worth it until you were ready to have them ported. I think the heads themselves are like 1300.00 that's a lot to spend and not get much of a HP jump.

LS6 heads in unported form provide a 20-30rwhp boost all by themselves
over the LS1 heads. Ported heads dont' really gain "that much" over unported
LS6 heads due to the limitations of the LS6 intake manifold.

Well, I found a good deal on some ls6 heads and I was thinking about getting them. You guys think I would be better off getting a different kind of heads or getting these ls6 heads and get a good cam to go with them?
I'm gonna get headers soon too. I'm hoping to make atleast 420rwhp on motor. What would be my best bet to make this kind of power with a 2001 M6 WS6 for decent price?
Thanks!

There is a brand new set of LS6 heads up on ebay with a buy it now price of $600. That's a hell of a deal if anyone is looking for a set. I think the seller is motorcityparts.

Thats ok. Im sure everyone knows about them anyway. I've been looking at them, but i'm not sure what would be the best thing for me to do to make the power I want to make.

So could I get some stock heads off of a Z06 and gain a decent amount of HP? Or would it be a big difference to send them off and get them ported?
BTW, where is the best place to get heads ported these days?
