L92's on a turbo car? I just want see if it would be a good idea or not. I know L92s flow well but will it hold up to 20 psi of boost.

Why wouldn't they ? Parish has 18 psi on a set of stock 5.3 heads. In fact because the L92's flow better you may not see as much boost yet still make the same power. someone out there correct me if I'm wrong.

I think Veee8 is running them on his car, just dynoed at 830 thru a TH400 (blowing thru the converter)

I was wondering the same thing. I wanted to make a 408 iron block PT88 and use these heads. I work at GM so I can get them cheap. The flow numbers looked good. Anyone run these and know for sure how they work? G

We did a 402 LS2 w/94mm build with stock L92 heads. The car put down 1042 rwhp 837 rwtq through a powerglide and hydraulic roller camshaft. It has ran 8.56@162 at 10psi. This is in a Fox body chassis.

When you say "stock L92 heads", you mean no port work and no mods of any type, right? Also, hom much cam are you running to elicit that type of power from that 402? I'm very interested, as I am attempting those same horsepower numbers! Thanks for your help.

Yeah 830 rwhp so far at 14 psi and 12* timing. It pushed a little water on the dyno with the pump gas cocktail. I retorqued the studs, (both banks had the front two and rear two studs down to 55-60 ft lbs.) and we are hitting the dyno again this week.
I am now running E85, and I can't tell you enough how this fuel has been working out great. Very impressed so far. I am at 18* timing, and we will likely take boost to the 18-20 psi level, if all goes well.
I will have new tires this week too, going with a 28" tall M&H drag radial. It was spinning bad last time on the rollers. It left a pile of rubber behind each roller. There is zero traction on the street over 8-10 psi. But the Pirelli P-Zero's I have on there now suck. They were over priced pieces of junk.
So hopefully we will tickle the 1000 hp mark to the tires this time.

Mine is far from stock though. Back on track: What kind of split does that cam of yours have?? I will have a 375" motor so the actual duration numbers will be less, but what about the split??

No port work, just upgraded springs. I believe it was somewhere around 242/236 116LSA. Here's the car http://www.ls1gto.com/forums/showthread.php?t=274571

No dyno numbers but on a stock LQ4 bottom with a 236/240 and gt47-88 ~18psi it went 5.72 @ just under 3300lbs. Thats with outta the box L92s with stock valves, PRC springs/retainers. Got a forged motor for '09 and a PT101, same heads.
