Is the exhaust w/o a pipe? If so then its not real bad, the 358@.550 is a typo on the intake? Should be since its an ls1 casting through a 2" valve.

There is something really off if it lost 15% of its flow on the intake from .550 to .600.

This thread may provide some insights: https://ls1tech.com/forums/advanced-engineering-tech/436695-importance-high-lift-flow-vs-mid-lift-flow-power.html

I wouldn't spend the time or money (for gaskets, etc.) to install them.

Depending on how and what flow bench was used the flow #s just dont look right up top with the high and low- the high being too high and low being well....to low of a drop. LS1 heads flatten out up top but this is odd. If they made 60 additional rwhp over not havin them then thats OK and would more than likely make more power with a larger cam- as do stock headed LS1s. The choice is yours to make in the end, just looks wierd to me. If you have an opportunity have them reflowed by somewere else and see.

Don't know how much the asking price in on these, but if you are looking for the best deal on a set of heads, look no further.

We can do you a set of our 243 castings that are CNC ported with 2.00"/1.55" valves, LS6 springs, new GM MLS head gaskets and new OEM head bolts for only $865.00 per pair assembled. This is an excellent value on a quality set of heads. Here are some flow numbers on these:

.100" 75 / 62
.200" 154 / 121
.300" 215 / 165
.400" 254 / 200
.500" 285 / 217
.550" 292 / 221
.600" 301 / 226

These numbers are taken on our Superflow 1020 bench using a 3.905" bore and a clay radius. We offer a few different options on these 243 castings. For a complete listing, take a look at this thread:
