ls1 vs ls6 heads?
ls1 vs ls6 heads? Building my 00 t/a and starting to run low on the bank. Bought a torquer2 cam from tsp. The shop doing my motor work, took my ls1 heads off. A buddy of mine has ls6 heads sitting in his garage i can have for $500. Worth my time to pick up the heads and sell mine? Need to decide by morning. And what are ls1 heads worth? Thanks in advanced

I recently put Livernois ported 243 heads, mild cam, and LS6 intake on a C5, had it tuned and it feels like a 70 to 80rwhp increase. It already had full exhaust and CAI. I will be taking it for dyno tune soon.
Stock heads alone on stock motor probably worth 15-20 hp.

I did end up grabbing the ls6 heads. They were off a z06 vet with 9,000 miles. I felt the $500 was a little steep also, but hoping to make up the money on the stock parts I'm selling & hopefully i get my moneys worth in hp increase.

Paid 500ish for my stock 243's, feel an impressive gain but I will post track times once the track is open this spring.
Well worth the swap I'd say, if you have a little extra coin mill them for a bit more compression.

They're going on right now at the shop, banks getting low, need to sell stock parts to recoupe some of the extra $ I didnt plan to spend lol, but Im excited to see how everything turns out. Im doing the heads/cam, headers, intake, tb & gears all at once, hopefully it feels like a whole new car.
