They are definitely going to kill some power. If you are planning on getting the LS6's fixed, fairly quick, I would wait and save the labor and money in gaskets. Now if you need the car to run because it's your daily driver, then they will work to get you by. Everything will bolt back up with either set of heads.

Just a suggestion but I think I would find out how the valves got bent and make sure it doesnt happen again. If you already have the 806s you could swap the valves out with the ls6s valves and get a valve job.

806s are perimeter bolt valve covers so add those to the cost as well if you don't already have a set. i had to get some when i ditched the 317s on my lq4 build.
