Easyout or reverse cut drill bit. Should come out fairly easy unless you torqued the ever lovin crap out of it.

Do it just like porcuppines make love.... verrry carefully. J/K

Easyouts are a lifesaver. Is there any piece left sticking out of the head or did it break off inside the hole?

You don't have to drill all the way through it. I usually just go 1/4" or so.

hey thanks alot for the tip man, I tried easy outs and that didnt work. but the reverse cut bit did. it was funny I thought I wasnt gonna be able to get the thing out, so I just bought some ls6 heads to cure the problem

they should be here on friday. they are just stock ls6 heads, but considering I still have an ls1 intake and stock heads I think its gonna make pretty good power with the mods I already have.
