I have 'em. What size? I assume you're asking about the combustion chamber volume? I believe they were 64.3cc to start with. This is 3ccs less than LS1 heads which would raise the compression ratio to about 10.8:1.

What else do you want to know?

Ls1 346 SS, i would consider ls6 heads if you dont want to port ls1 heads. Based on flow numbers they would pick up basicly stock motor nicely and would also respond to bigger cams. Compression bump would help power and un ported, the velocity to flow ratio should work fine for most combos. IMO

oh, I have are stage 3 heads on the way(382 all bore) <img src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" /> I just wanted to know some more on the ls6 heads. thanks though for the amount of n20 my engine is going to hold I really can't have high compression. car is going to be able to take a 300 shot. <img src="graemlins/camaro.gif" border="0" alt="[Chevrolet]" /> <img src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" />
