Myself personally, for the money, I would by a good set of after market heads and cam..

I guess that would depend on just how cheap you can get them. I think with this combo and LT's with all the bolt ons will be around 380-400 RWHP, but you could also get those numbers leaving your LS-1 heads alone and going with all the bolt-ons and just a decent after-market cam.

Good luck

This option has several advantages including: very good power, smooth idle, good fuel economy, reliability, and no problem passing emissions.

I'd say go for it, its no other way that you can make 400hp and, keep stock reliability, not to mention factory waranty.

I would say go with a different cam, but use the LS6 heads. That is what I'm looking at doing - cheaper than S1 or S2 heads till I can afford them.

Thinking about doing the Z06 cam. Like the power increase with no tuning. (at least to start) Think I would look at stage 1 heads that will work with your EGR and should flow pretty close for half the price. Could MAC headers to complete the package. Should match up with a Z06 set up.

Anyone else on what heads match-up with the Z06 cam??

Will 10.8 need a dyno tune not to trip SES lights??? Was thinking about going the other way and 10.3 thinking no tuning (out of the box) and would be able to run more advance. (or atleast no retardation) Making the most of the computer settings. Second thought is take up the .027 needed in the push-rod more than stock????

Its hard to beat the 2002 LS6 heads complete for less than $1400. Lightly mill them for starters. Then down the road you have a great set of heads to have ported. Not a bad option.
