Livernois Stage 2 Ls6 heads Anybody here using Livernois heads? I've looked but didn't find much, mainly AI, TEA, or PRC. How does Livernois compare?
I'm looking to either send my heads to AI or pick up a set of Livernois Stg 2 heads. Looking for some real world experience and opinions.
Thanks

Those Stage III results are good. If the guy who installed them had milled down to like 60cc with that cam, he would have been around 460rwhp with 1-3/4" headers a 230 cam. Pretty damn good. Going to a slightly bigger cam, flycutting, milling down to 58 or 59cc, and running a 1-7/8" header likely would have seen 480+rwhp.

Yeah, the stage III heads look pretty good, but for the money for those I'd probably go with some Trick flow as cast heads. I was hoping there would be more people with the stage 2 heads. Maybe in the $1500 or less price range AI or TEA is the way to go...

Trick Flow As Cast heads would be a great buy for you. Just make sure you have the heads milled so you can achieve a higher compression, which will equate to better throttle response and more HP/TQ throughout the RPM band. A custom cam with those heads and a FAST intake/TB would be nice. Just make sure you have all the supporting mods first, like long tube headers and exhaust.

With everything I've read and researched, I'll probably go with AI at this point.
Thanks

Any of those heads are great. Put your time and thought into getting as much compression as your fuel will allow, get a custom cam designed around whatever heads you get, decide if you want to flucut to optimize the setup, make sure your injectors/fuel system is up to snuff, make sure you have the correct stall converter or rear gearing, make sure the valve train is setup right, etc. Those are the kind of things that can make or break a build. Too many times people buy ultra bad *** heads and throw **** parts at them and then wonder why the setup sucked ***. Others have what many would call "shitty" heads, but have a well thought out combo with good matching parts that makes killer power. I think too often people forget about the entire combo and get caught up on single parts. It's all about the combo. If you look at any NA build on here that puts out impressive dyno numbers and lays down fast ET's, they all have one thing in common. A well thought out combo of great parts that work together to produce the numbers.

Hopefully with the cam motion cam, victor jr intake, and 750 carb it will run pretty well. It runs pretty good now as is.
Hopefully these heads are as good as livernois talks them up to be. I really wanted to go AI but didn't want the downtime. 6-8 weeks out. Plus, livernois is a little easier to get in touch with if there's any problems.
I'll update once I receive the heads.
