Nice work Prin. That hotrod sounds great.

Did you have any extra work done to those heads? I am interested in getting a set of those myself. And..if you dont mind... how much did the heads set you back?

He used the GM MLS gaskets. Not sure on chamber volume, but on a stock bottom end LS1, it results in 10.75:1 CR. They're stock height btw...
