John, I love the flow numbers of the LS3 head but I am not very happy with the castings. Because of lack of extra material, you are limited with port work. That lack of material will also hinder anyone trying to produce considerable hp in a boosted application. As the numbers near 1000+hp, the reliability of the casting goes down. Not a sound investment if you really want to get serious like AG or Kyle. I know what rotating assembly I'm going to get already and the block. I will be looking locally and abroad for someone to port the heads to take advantage of the cam and intake I have in mind. I'm in no rush, gotta do more research before I spend money.
