Do NOT use the LQ9 heads (317) unless you want to lose a TON of compression. They have 71cc chambers compared to 67cc (241) and 65cc (243/799).

Agreed 243 will put you at 10.5:1 compared to 10.25:1 stock ls1 heads the other will put you in the 9s great if your wanting to boost it. 243 milled .030 will get you close to 11:1 and we’ll over 11:1 with 383 stroker. 550 is not impossible but might take more than just 383 heads and cam especially thru an auto.
