I have a 98 LS1 with a G5X3 cam with 114 lobe seperation and .610" lift. I'm thinking about getting the Texas Speed 5.3 stage 2.5 heads with the 58cc combustion chamber (http://www.texas-speed.com/p-1172-pr...ted-heads.aspx). This is going to be a street car that gets driven on nice days in the summer and will see the track a few times. I want something that is still streetable.
With stock pistons I believe this will get me around 11:1 compression correct? These heads should be fine with pump gas right?
Also, I assume I will have to flycut my pistons with these heads?
Let me know your thoughts on getting the heads.

That much cam and 5.3's milled to 58cc you will have to flycut your pistons!
