Thick deck head with the most chamber cc's.......???? Is there a head with a thicker deck than factory that has a chamber size greater than 72cc????? Which ones? . |
My TFS heads are circa 74cc |

Did you get work done to them? The biggest i know of from TFS is 70cc. But when I measured them myself earlier in the year I would have said they were closed to 72cc. Wouldnt say my measuring practise was 100% accurate though. So my 74cc may be wrong and it could well be 70cc. |

Oddly I'm pretty sure they were sold to me as 74cc about 5 years ago. I needed them in a huge rush, so really I was happy to get anything at the time. They are absolutely not 64cc though But when I measured them myself earlier in the year I would have said they were closed to 72cc. Wouldnt say my measuring practise was 100% accurate though. So my 74cc may be wrong and it could well be 70cc. |
Try calling Richard at West Coast Cylinder Heads (LS1Tech sponsor). He machines the Edelbrock castings; you can get them with 74cc chambers using HIP'd castings which makes them very durable for forced induction applications. |

ProComp are 80cc IIRC. Not that I'd use them for FI... For FI, you can get Cometic's w/ thicker compressed thickness, they won't cause detonation issues like they would in a NA setup. |
How big do you actually want/need ? and why ? |
Just curious why you are looking for something larger than 72cc? I built my engine with low compression pistons, 72cc AFR's, and Cometic gaskets, and I managed to only get 9.06:1 static compression out of it. But in hindsight I really wish I wouldnt have done that, because now I am going single front mount and E85, and that 9:1 compression is not good for either one of those. Wish it was more in the 10.0 - 10.5 range. |

Then when I install the turbo in 8-9 months I'll be using full time E85 fuel for sure but still wanted to lower the compression a little bit when I get new heads. My heads now are 69cc so I need some larger chambered new heads to drop the compression. Using LS9 head gaskets. I don't want to do a piston change later on........... I plan to go 18psi......single turbo....E85. 100% street car. Will never see a drag strip. . |
So are those pistons in it now suitable for boost ? Or are they a n/a piston ? The two are not the same. And having driven my own n/a when I first put it together a few weeks ago. At around 9.0:1 it could hardly be described as a dog. It drove superbly and went far better than I expected. |

I should be 10.8 right now......going from 69cc up to 72cc will give me 10.3:1 cr. if we figured right..... 69cc heads .051 gaskets Flat pustons 3.825 stroke 4.030 bore . |
Anyone else know of larger cc thick deck heads than 72cc? Or can chambers on 72cc heads be worked and made to be larger than 72cc??? . |
