I'd shoot for a 9.5/1 compression ratio. 700 rwhp can be made with Patriot LQ9 Stage 11 heads (or something similar) with our blower cam and an LS6 intake easy enough with a ProCharger D-1SC. Bob

You would need to do it with a compression calculator....static or dynamic? Your combustion chamber size and head gasket thickness will play into it.... Just a standard LS6 intake manifold will do.

how many people are running a gm head with port work?? Is this a good route, or better off to buy an aftermarket set?

heads with thicker decks are preferred -----AFR 225 or TF 225 have proven well for other builds. if price is an issue stage 3 317's or 243's will work. get a good gasket such as GM MLS or GM LS9 head studs instead of bolts. a good vent setup for the heads. ls6 intake is fine. higher compression is more dangerous. the 9:5 will allow you to roll on pump gas (93) this is also what i am planning to do. many of us actually.

I'm using untouched 243s besides lapped in valve work and springs and I'm shooting for 700-750 reason I kept stock heads is if I make my goal I won't touch them and saved good money but if I'm just short I know a good head will get me there.

Good point. I got a set of cnc'd 243s so I sure hope to hit the 700+ goal.
