High 11s with good shifts with some extra gear out back...ditch the 853s...ls6 can be bought used for cheap just like a food set of ls6 heads....

IMO I always prefer you send your 853s to AI for their 219 cnc program. Much better yield than stock to stock 243/799 swap.

But Pred, haven't you heard there is no way to make any good numbers with the 853's or 241's, and that 243 heads are the only way to go.....lol

I agree with Predator, have your heads worked over by a shop like SO that knows what they are going and you will be very happy
