Default Heads

I have no intention of going the forced induction route.


And becuase of this im doing research on heads and cams


and im away that 5.3L heads will bump up the compression which is GREAT for all motor



would would the pros and cons be of running 5.3L heads of 6.0L heads or even some good 5.7L heads?

the 5.3s will boost compression without having to mill

they also seem to make better numbers on the flow bench over the 5.7s

if you want to boost compression...don't see why you'd even consider 6Ls

So is it true that milled LS6 style heads can produce the same compression as 5.3?

yeah, but make sure you take your cam into consideration when you have them milled. a piston hitting a valve would not be cool.
