Can someone point me to a spec sheet on the C5R heads? I'm just curious on how they are soo much better than the LS1/LS6's....I'm not sayin they ain't worth the coin but I'd like to read up.

thanks!

Lamar Walden Automotive in Doraville, GA has (or had) a used set with titanium valves and springs for a solid roller.

I have seen them from about $1200 to $1400. The valves required to truely make them flow to their potential is 2.180" intake and 1.625" exhaust. The valves require a minunium bore of 4.125" for clearance. Plus they require a custom intake.
