1) Never used it. It does lower IAT's as stated above.
2) On a stock shortblock 6 bolt heads are out. Use a set of LQ9 6.0L heads if its a budget deal. Aftermarket heads with thick deck are a nice upgrade is the $$$ is available.
3)8-12lbs with a Intercooler. Some will go higher. Its a balancing act over 12lbs.

They flow good, but have smaller chambers and will raise compression.

I understand that they are a ls6 style head with 72 cc chambers that come on he 6.0 trucks. I dont know flow numbers and all that for them. But a stock set wont set u back much.
