Default LS7 WCCH All Pro Head Project

We have started assembling our LS7 WCCH All Pro Head Project. The car is a 06 C6 Z06 it currently makes 500 RWHP with
  • Vararam Cold Air Intake
  • Kooks 1 7/8" Race Headers
  • Kooks Off Road X Pipe
  • Corsa Z06 3" Catback w/ 4 Pro Series Tips
  • G-Force HP Tuners Custom Tune

We are now in the process of installing the WCCH All Pro LS7 Heads. These heads are some of the best looking heads we have seen.



They have the upgraded Titanium Valves



The exhaust ports on the stock heads are a weak link, I think we have solved that problem



The intake ports are massive

600 RWHP is the goal ALL MOTOR. With good street manners. The car has a very tame camshaft.

Are the heads cut?

What are you using for the exhaust valves? Alloy?

Can't wait to see the numbers. Good god. 600 rwhp N/A! There seems to be no limits at the power that is made.

The exhaust valves are stainless steel.

Someone should enjoy the newfound power. Bet will be a step or two above an LS2 on dope. Those heads look amazing.

Yeah Robert like you said you know the ports are BIG when you can reach in and touch the back of the valve not just the stem LOL! TJ's car should make real good power.

They have been milled a little. Final compression will be 11.4.1. We tried 2 cams in testing (mock up LS7 Block,crank,rods and pistons) and they didnt clear the exhaust valve relief. After degreeing the newest camshaft. We are in the clear!

A nice alloy 1 pc valve would add to a lightweight valve train but they are a pretty penny... Sounds like its gonna be nice and make great power. I have been following the 600 rwhp threads and from what I know, there are not a lot of 600 rwhp Z's out there running with nice street manners. Most are making around 580-590rwhp (cut/port heads/cam). Mine makes 552 rwhp with the heads un touched and a nice very well manner cam. I would think if you achieve the 600+ rwhp that you are looking for, your tq numbers should be around 515-520 ish. Good luck on the build!!!

Oh, what do you have in those heads $ wise?

True that a lighter exhaust valve would make the valve train lighter, but in general the exhaust valves smaller size and mass don't make it as critical as the intake valve so I don't think its an issue, just mentioning it I knew you would already know that Jeff.

Agreed, I was just adding a pc of info as to what most are doing on the exhaust valves when changing out the sodium filled 2 pc valves. Thats what I'm planning to run once I get the blower on.

Why such a high et? I feel like an idiot asking but shouldn't it be MUCH lower than that?
