Cool Heads For Supercharger!!!!!

What heads are good for an ls1 that will lower the compression ratio? I have though about getting the 6.0L heads but I want to hear some other peoples thoughts! Thanks!

You just said it......... On a stock block it should bring compression down to about 9.6:1 and with a -8.66cc dish piston like the one diamond makes it should bring you down to about 9:1......... Most sponsors carry them... check out AP Engineering, Absolute, TEA. Or Patriot.

The 6.0 heads are what I would run. I have seen Patriot's work and they were extremly nice heads, plus they were priced very good.

Ok. Thanks for the info. Would these heads be good and are they at a good price? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33617 Also does Patriot call their 6.0L heads the LQ9. Thanks
