not trying to high jack the thread but theoretically would you see any power increase going from ls1 heads to ls6/ls2 heads on a stock ls1? How about with a cam? Is it worth it?

The average I have seen in stock (243) LS6 heads unported from (241) LS1 heads unported with know other change that I have seen out of the cars I have done 3 of them is 15rwhp to 20rwhp and 2/10 in the 1/4 mile. But the results will vary and some tuning because they dont need as much timing in the computer. Its a well worth mod in my opinion especialy if you can buy them used for a good price. That is what I have on my car stock 243 LS6 heads unported just spring changed Comp Cams 921 kit. My car puts down 447rwhp on Mustang dyno. Good Luck on your decision

the 243 heads have a better combustion chamber that was geared toward optimizing flame front propagation.

I see you already have the MS4 in your car, I would stick with it and buy the heads and put them on and take the car and have it tuned but that is just me. The MS4 is a good perfomance cam and is a proven performer.
