Small Cube L92 Heads? The new GM HIGH TECH PERF showed rumors of GM producing an L92 head for LS1/LS6/truck application. Whould you buy this head? I say "sign me up, I'll take two"!

Nope...not until someone proves that they can make better numbers than a cathedral head given our typical RPM ranges. The L92s out now flow some great numbers, but don't do much on a dyno with those numbers. Maybe if people get some better cams out for them...

If they can make the adjustments and still sell them for a similar price it should force the aftermarket to drop their prices on the cathedral port Heads.
So It is a good thing that may work out for all of us.

I would be interested, and from what I've read, the biggest issue is getting the combustion chambers down in size by milling the heads. Look at everyone who runs and makes good power with the AFR heads, almost all of them have milled the heads to bump up the compression ratio, both static and dynamic.
I think dynamic compression ratio is too frequently overlooked when it comes to making power.

Well just looking at stock L92s they lack in the exhaust area a lot. I would be curious to test them with a cam like a 231/242 .643/.610 110+4
Either that or port the exhaust only to 75/80% of intake. and shorten the split with less exhaust bias.

If these heads were priced inexpenisively like the bigger bore heads, I would pick them up quick!! And a new cam to go with it.
I just can't justify buying cylinder heads for over 2g's. If I could get an assebled set like these for under a grand..............I'd be all over than like stink on ****!!!

I believe I will just stay with proven parts. Big ports on a small cube motor=beatdowns by small port small cube motor. Those heads are ideal for Forced Induction motors were port velocity doesnt matter. Until I see a solid combination put together, and not a dyno queen, i'll keep my money in the wifes purse.

GMHTP says its suppose to be 44% more hp than the LS-6 heads.. They already have the heads for big bore engines like the LS-2 or LS-7.. If that is the case and flow more than the LS-6.. Save your money and just wait..
