what heads, cam and intake should be used on a lq9 to make the most hp

 

no one has input

 

I am no expert by anymeans but it really depends on budget, if you are looking for inexpensive L92 seem to do pretty well from what i have read, and then you can run ls3 intake.

 

You didnt give enough information for us to give you any good answers, therefore you get no answers.

 

ok ive just swap a stock lq9 in to a 78 chev pick up and i would like to get more hp. ive did a lot of reading on ls motors that why there a lq9 in my truck. i just dont know what would be the best combo ls3 heads and intake thats where i need the help

 

I have an LQ9. I went with the best combo I can find. Lingenfelter CNC LS3 heads, FAST LSXR 102mm intake, and a short duration/high lift agressive, yet mild Comp Cam.

 

102mm intake would that still be drive by wire

 

It can be cable or drive by wire, it depends on what throttle body you bolt on to it.

I have a 90mm DBW on mine for now, I may pick up a 102mm some day.

 

ok thank for the info going to look in to ls3 head set up .where would a good place get the
heads
