LS2 Heads Installed.....

I was going to pickup a set from a guy in gilbert today but a friend had a friend who had an 8K mile pair for CHEAP. 275 dollars cheap

Anyway the install was fairly straight forward with LS1howto being a BIG help. Dyno will be this week and i hope i can hit 350-360whp.

Started the car and no problems. Went for a quick drive and it doesn't feel any different but i really didn't take it over 3000rpm. Dyno will tell the whole truth how good these LS2 heads are.

You're missing a "C" in that alphabet soup in your sig

Good ****, nice budget H/C in the works ($275 is awesome).

I looked at it but will probably be going with patrick G's recommendation on a sleeper cam.

Sleeper cam idea is dead. A C6 just kicked my ***.

Probably just going to go with a 224/230

I just installed edelbrock shorties so they're going to stay for awhile. If i wouldn't have gotten them for so cheap i would have bought LT's instead.
