Thinking about using PRC LS3 heads for a moderate boost application (15-25 psi)
I just got a short block off a member on here that was built for boost. It is a Iron truck block with a 4.00 bore so it is still a 364.
I also bought a sheetmetal intake from a member on here a long time ago that was built for LS3/L92 ports. I was thinking of using a set of the LS3 PRC heads since they are an aftermarket casting with a thicker deck compared to stock ls3 castings. The only question I have is, are these heads durable enough to withstand a decent amount of boost?
Has anybody used them in a boost application?

It wouldn't be on 25 psi all the time. Only for certain kill situations
I consider 0-14 psi a street pump gas low boost situation, 15-25 psi a moderate boost race fuel/e85 street/strip situation and 25psi on up a serious race situation. I consider this with most motors in the 3xx cu in range because a 427 with 17 psi is a different ball game from 370 at 17psi.
I do know that a stock l92 casting won't hold 25psi at all.

they are definitely a very stout casting! With thicker decks & a overall thicker casting it's a great option for someone looking for better than stock castings.

The heads have just come out so I don't you are going to see any dyno or track numbers just yet. They are on TSP's website.
