Default whos runnin the 799 heads!!???

alright i got some christmas money im wanting to blow on the camaro
i have an 02 SS w/ the polluter cam (in which i LOVE awesome cam) and full bolt ons. i was wanting to go with the 243 heads but a buddy of mine has a set of ported and polished 799s for dirt cheap so i am probably gonna go that route was just woundering if anyone was running the 799 heads and how they like them and what their setup is?

just looking for a little input on powergains and stuff like that. oh and im woundering if i could run a smaller head gasket to get a little compression increase if anyone has tryed that let me know what u went with.

Thanks

Pretty sure the majority, if not all, of Texas Speed's "ls6 style" heads are 799 castings, not 243s. Same result if ported.

only diff between the two is that the 243s have sodium filled valves if they came off a ls6 if they came off a ls2 they dont have sodium filled valves the 799s dont have sodium filled valves either other then that there the same heads.
