I'm currently having a 6.0 liter built for my truck and may have some minor head work done if money allows it. Not wanting to go extreme, but wanted to know if there was any minor head work i could have done that will help out and work well with forced induction. So far the build consist of the following...
Lq4 6.0 block stock bore
6.0 liter heads
Diamond forged dished pistons
stock rods
stock crank
Comp cam 224/230 .581/.592 114lsa
comp cam 918 springs and titanium retainers
Federal mogul rod and main bearings
Arp head,main studs and rod bolts
Whipple twin screw supercharger running approx 10 psi boost

thanks for any ideas and input

My 348ci LS6 block has 6.0 heads.

I am using:
-GM 6.0 MLS head gaskets
-6.0 ported heads (stage 1-ish) 2.05/1.57 valves--- 2.05's have been cut down to fit the stock seats. Head flow numbers are very very average.
-H11 head studs, the expensive ones. Better than ARP's, not as good as C5R $1000 ones.
-Crane valvesprings

I would leave them stock to keep low-mid throttle response and gas mileage. Spend your money elsewhere. Oh...do get valvesprings

You might consider a little exhaust port work and maybe a bowl blend. Other than that, the rec's from MM about springs. If you really want to spend an extra $200, get some LS6 sodium valves. They work well in LSx heads.

The sodium filled valves will help. Your less likely to burn a valve which is a greater possibility with a FI engine.

I'd definately

1. portmatch intake and exhaust ports.
2. Bowl blend.
3. O-ring deck and heads
4. Have the combustion chambers coated.. Helps defeat knock..
