My only concern with the LS6 heads is that the exhaust ports won't match up with my LG headers that are design for a 97-00 vette. If I get port and polish job done on a pair of stock LS6 heads, is it possible to machine the exhaust port to match up with my headers? I like the TR Cheatr cam but I'm worried about clearance betweem the pistons and valves, being that it's specs are 214/230 .601/.575 117 LSA. Can I just throw it in and not worry about it or should I just keep looking?
True, but I don't want my car to attract cops like flies on sh*t. I just don't want the average joe to know that my car has been head/cammed in anyway.

The 243 heads have a D-port exhaust vs the round port on your stock heads. They don't make headers that have a D-shaped runner at the flange AFAIK. You're not going to hurt power at all by running a round primary bolted to the D-port of your LS6 head.

ive never heard of anyone having PTV clearence with that cam. My cam is a whole hell of a lot bigger on probably the most aggresive lobes out there and i didnt have to cut.

When you say sleeper do you mean staying with stock casting #'s & a cam that idles bone stock, or do you mean a combo that drives super nice & makes good power.

my car runs pretty much like stock (mods in sig) you can going even bigger and in the end it all comes down to the tune. for a budget build something like texas speed 228r with 243s would make decent power and still drive fine
