2002 LS6 heads vs Ported LS1 heads? Worth upgradin Setup is a 2002 LS6 long block with a freshly added G5X2 cam... what is gonna flow better? LS6 stock heads or a set of ported LS1 heads? Nitrous is going on soon, but no FI of any kind... Would there be a point in upgrading? Main question is: are Ported LS1 heads better than stock LS6 and if so how much better or what is the difference?

Re: 2002 LS6 heads vs Ported LS1 heads? Worth upgradin my understanding is, stage 1 ported LS1 heads will make a bit more power than stock LS6 heads. But probably not enough more to warrant tearing into the motor.
why not just get your LS6 heads ported ??

Re: 2002 LS6 heads vs Ported LS1 heads? Worth upgradin LS6 head will always folw more given the same stage port job. But if I were you, i'd just get the LS6 heads ported.

Re: 2002 LS6 heads vs Ported LS1 heads? Worth upgradin Im sure with stock LS6 heads given the same other mods you would have a significant loss of hp compared to a Stage 2 ls1 head, Im not sure of anyone who has done this comparison and dyno'd however so it will be hard to come up with hard facts.

Re: 2002 LS6 heads vs Ported LS1 heads? Worth upgradin Look around at some dynos with just the G5 or G5X2 cam, vs dynos of that cam with heads. I think you're leaving 20 hp at the least on the table.
