Default Cam only MS4 getting heads. Suggestions

I am wanting to know the publics opinion when it somes to buying heads for a MS4 cammed LS1 (M6). I would like to gain some compression so im looking to the trickflows or the etp 215 heads to do the job. Without having to flycut what size of combustion chambers are we talking with the 13.5* trickflows and the 11* ET Performance heads? I havn't seen to many go this route so I thought that I would bring it up.

Semper Fi,

Rob

how much miney do you have as that will let us know what heads. You cand go wrong with some aftermarket castings though if you got the money.

He wasn't asking about the money....he wanted to know how much he could mill without having to flycut with trickflows or ETP's!

I just assembled my stock short block with the new PRC 215's and MS4, with .040 cometics. There is plenty of piston to valve clearance. No worries. I cant wait to see what kind of power this thing makes through the fast 92 setup.

What kind of compression are we looking at with that setup?
