Im almost positive the heads are assembled, as the price ($1000+) should reflect that. That sucks though about cali emissions as headers help a ton in getting the car to breath properly with an aftermarket cam and heads. You might be better off going with a turbo or supercharger kit. Even though it is more expensive you could run 7-8 pounds of boost on your stock short block and see 450+ rwhp and still pass emissions. Just an idea to think about though. But if you do go cam/heads, 5.3's and 224 all the way. The 112 lsa might give off too much of a lope and a station might pick up on it but id check with someone who has run that cam and has passed. Just post in the forum section for cali members at the bottom of the forum page, someone should be able to help. Good luck though and let us know what you choose!

Well, when I do go to buy, I probably will get the TSP package: oil pump, timing chain, etc... with their 224R cam, and stage 2.5 PRC heads. LS6 intake, bigger TB, and that should be it. Maybe some suspenion mods, but I don't want to get stickier tires, since I don't want to put that much stress on my diff., axle, and driveshaft. It's my daily driver, and I can't afford to replace those. And no FI because it's an 87k mile daily driver...although, if they were to come out with a CARB certified manifold mounted (like roots, or twin-screw) supercharger, I would be *very* tempted.
