Anyone doing LS6 heasds should be able to LQ4 since they share the same intake and exhaust port design.

We do 6.0 heads and LQ4 heads do not share the same ports as an LS6 head. The LQ9 heads do. Give us a call with your goals and mods and we can set you up.

I've heard of Total Engine Airflow, but didn't find 6.0L heads on their website. NastyPerformance, you seem to be new.

I will have a LS6 / LQ9 / LQ4 heads ready in a couple of weeks.Some of the later LQ4 heads are the same as the LS6 on the Intake and Exhaust runners.

Andy at A&A talked me into his ported Stage 2 LS1 heads for about $1,650 exchange. I've done business with him before.

I was thinking 6.0L heads because of larger chambers. I have forged pistons w/8.6cc dish, apparently I should not increase chamber size any more than that.

Well I have been a sponsor of this site for a year now. Have been doing ported heads and motors all along.

What is the casting number of the LQ9 head you are referring to? I have an LQ9, and it is the same casting (317) as the 2001+ LQ4. Lets not bring the 99-00 cast iron head 6 liter LQ4 into this discussion, as no one in their right mind would want them.

Call TEA and ask to speak with Brian. TEA does 6.0's and they cost is similar to their other packages.

what I have seen, I would stay with companies with experience with ls6-6.0l heads, like mti, absolute, gtp. tea does not have an ls6 or 6.0l cnc program yet, they keep saying there developing them

TEA does have a cnc design for the 6.0 head, as i just put a set of them on my 421 iron block stroker in 99 vette. sweet pieces, flow 330 at 600, and i opted for the 5/16 valves for a little stronger setup. 2.08/1.60 valves as well. and the price? as good as you'd want. the customer service, well, that's what sold me. parts, tech, etc, there is alot out there, but spend your money on a quality product and KNOW that the service after the sale is there, as visa and mastercard say it, PRICELESS!!!!!!!!! as far as head wars, hell i dont care, i just like to cruise with my ac on , drive it anywhere in the country i desire, and be able to click off 10 second 1/4 mile times. joe in memphis
