If this is going on a stock ls1 you will suffer from a compression loss due to a 72cc chamber apposed to stock 66cc

It will help your car, but kill your compression. So basically it would be a wash. That is what these guys are trying to say to you. Those heads usually work better for someone looking to do some mild boost on a stock bottom end.
