should DD fine. 114 LSA is going to give it a mild idle and it's not a large cam.. so you should be fine.

What king of power you think It would make? I will be running headers, xpipe, catback, this head and cam some bigger injectors, ported oil pump and timing chain.

Read your post. I would save and buy LG pro's or ARH's, or Kooks, all 1 3/4. Also, you say the heads are just ported and polished, I assume then they aren't milled and have the 65 cc heads. The smaller head gasket won't really do that much for you.
Keeping your LS6 intake and TB, with that cam, the streets, you really will be around 400 at best.
On a 114 LSA, you really need plus 4. The plus 2 will hurt you. The ICL on these engines are whats needed to be 110 or less to 109.
Since your doing all this, save just a few more bucks, call Vengence Racing, or LG motorsports. Maybe A&A corvette, as these guys will be honest with you.
On your heads, just above where the plugs are, if it looks like an X pattern, these are good heads, as GM had 3 vendors. The cold cast heads have an X pattern which gave the best runners, intake and exhaust.
This difference in heads, on 02-04 Z06's are the main reason why we see some dynoing about 330-335 rwhp verus's 345-350 rwhp.
Just trying to help. Good luck.......

got this pm from a guy in corvette forum. Is he right or what? I would think 400 would be really low for what I will have.
