Default Got my PRC LS6 heads today!



Look great and were packaged very nice and snug. Box wasn't even dented up from UPS (that's a first ) Runners look decent but I didn't expect much, as they're only $1k for brand new castings. Got them milled to 62cc's, looking to get them on along with my LS6 intake and P&P throttle body within the next few weeks, then Dyno time!!! Thanks Texas Speed!

When I was running a TV2 and put on a set of PRC Stage 1 LS6 heads the car picked up 50 RWHP on the dyno. Totally different beast!!

Had a few hours to start my head/intake swap tonight...got everything down to the shortblock! Luckily, though a little bit of a pain, I was able to get the heads off WITHOUT removing my headers! Which was great lol. And I forgot what a pain that power steering pump is (had to remove the water pump, which I didn't think I would have to.



Then here's a pic of my PRC heads against the stock 806's. Pretty nice difference in ports



I have the valley cover off because I'll be doing the LS1 to LS6 PCV conversion. Also doing the LS6 intake and P&P throttle body. Gonna put the stock injectors back in to make sure everything is good when all done, then I have 42#er's to swap in. So far so good

Looking good! It sucks doing all the work with the motor still in the car.. i'm glad i'm doing everything on mine outside of the car, so all i have to do is reinstall it and hook everything back up and add fluids
