Default Heads for my car

I have been tryin to get some heads worked up for my car since before I bought it, really . I finally got one completed last week and will hopefully finish the other one this weekend so they can go to the machine shop to get done up and assembled(with PP Golds). I had a chance to put em on a flowbench so I went for it knowing it would be just ballpark #s since it was stock GM cut seats still and unmodified stock valves. It did better than I thought it would, especially since I hadnt deshrouded the chambers yet and being the 806 casting(sand cast):
.100 75.6
.200 149.1
.300 204.2
.400 244.0
.500 268.8
.550 272.9
.600 278.1
Get a good valve job and the right back cut on the stock 2.00 valve and it should do pretty good I think.

Nice numbers! I wish I could locate a set of ported '98 heads. Not to many choices out there for us perimeter bolt guys.

Thanx, I liked the idea of keeping the car "stock looking" under the hood with the perimeter heads which is why I done up a set of 806s instead of 243s. My car is for sale and Im just finishing up these heads just to get em done instead of sittin around half done for who knows how long lol.

With the sale of your car are you leaving the LS1 world or getting another one?
