Head selection I decided to scale back on the cubes a little and go FI on my build. What heads would you recommend for a 427ci / Vortech Ysi build?

I am suprised to hear 225cc heads. I would have thought they were too small. What about an ls7 based design, ETP, LS7, L92, etc.?

That is what I was thinking. How about the Livernois CNC ported L92's> They flow great as well and are very reasonably priced. I need to get fuel rails and injectors anyway, so swapping to a L92/l76 would save money and outflow an Ls2 setup.

You really can't go wrong with our L92's. The flow numbers speak for themselves in terms of bang for the buck. PM member " ZLEEPER " on here. He is currently assembling his build with a pair of Livernois L92's.

Yes - that is the plan. The ETP's are really nice, but really expensive. I am waiting to see flow numbers from Livernois. I am more concerned with exhaust side flow than intake. The stock L92's are a little light from what I remember.

It looks like the CNC L92 heads flow better on the intake and eaxhust side than the ETP 4.0 LS7's and better than the 4.1 LS7's exhaust but not as good on the intake. Considering I am planning FI, should it matter that the intake side is not as good and that the L76 intake is not as good as the LS7 intake?
