hmm that guys numbers are pretty low for that setup. then again, he's still running the truck heads, and his tune wasn't really discussed so he could be leaving some out from there. plus these motors are pretty picky about matching the cam with the heads setup. it's all about flow and getting parts to work together. I've seen small cams put down more power with stock heads that big cams with aftermarket heads, based on flow characteristics. for your setup you would be best to stay with a small cam, something like a tr224, or if you want a real aggressive sound, but with good power range, the GM ASA cams are nice
as for tha 5.3 that would be exactly what I need, except he's in wisconsin

Got ahead of myself! Well, my plan was to get heads first (had to decide which ones) then an intake to match. I run across this today and went ahead and bought it. I have convinced myself that I wanted L92 heads to bolt on my LQ9. Now that I have bought this LS3 intake........it's a go for the L92 
This was a new car take-off from SLP performance on a new Camaro. It was about $125 cheaper than new and it is with the rails and injectors. Hope I made the right decision. It said that it was 3 to 5 day shipping, we'll see!

Here's what I am thinking on heads I've looked and looked. I found a lot of ones that would be great, but most were over $2,000. I need to be reasonable here and remember that I have a street machine, not a track machine. Soooooooooooo these are the ones I think I am going to get next month. They are about $1,100 assembled but not ported. I haven't talked to them to see what springs and valves are in them, but I will before I decide. 320 cfm intake at .600" lift is decent for unported (I think)! This is what they say they are:
LS3 / L92 Heads with performance valve job
30 CFM increase over stock
Intake - @.600 – 320.3 CFM
Exhaust - @.600 – 280.7 CFM
As Cast Ports
Intake valve size – 2.180
Exhaust valve size – 1.600
Intake port volume – 250cc
Exhaust port volume – 80cc
Chamber volume – 68cc

I got it from SLP Performance that has a store on Ebay. It was pulled off a 2011 L3 Camaro. Most places I have found, the intakes were going for around $400 to $450. This one was $299. Because I have decided on going with the L92 heads, the intake I need is the LS3. It has the rectangular port heads. The LS6 has the cathedral port heads, like the LS1. Here is an article I found about two weeks ago that told me a little about the different LS engines. I still don't know much about them.

Sweet!
Thanks man
Kinda goin with the same setup
But everyone is saying to go with the 5.3 heads on the lq4 to jump the compression up a little
So that's in consideration
Sounds like we need to have a LSX for dummies class
