I went LS3 heads and under NA i think it hurt me as wasn't really impressed. People I talked to said airflow velocity was to low on a 370CI as it had a power band that kicked in over 4,000 RMP. Im in a truck vs car so maybe my issue of moving this fat ***.

Now same set up under boost Lq4/ls3/l92 intake I think helping me due to ls3 heads flow more.
