I would recommend selling or trading the heads for a set of cylinder heads with a smaller combustion chamber. Regardless if its a 6.0 or 5.7 your still going to be a bit down on compression depending what chamber your stage 3s have, and if you have an LQ9 or
LQ4. If I were you I'd look into a different set of cylinder heads if its in the budget.

I say sell the heads and get a set that better compliments your setup.

Wow 76cc chambers is awfully large. I would for sure sell them and get into something else. Your not going to be able to get to any reasonable compression level without a ton of work. On a side note those wouldnt even be a consideration for the LS1, valve size is much too you'd have a lot of shrouding issues. In all honesty if your staying N/A sell them, and get something a little better suited for what your trying to accomplish.
