Default RGR Heads-Any Comments?

Tom from LS1Speed is offering a great deal to me. 'Will likely go with 224/224 581/581 112 LSA. I'll be getting an ASP with that and maybe an LS6 intake.

Anyone want to chime in here? He said that a car similar to mine (see sig) made 439 RWHP with this set up.

Thanks Mike! Yeah, Tom is making me a deal I can't pass up! And I have a similar set up as you, except the 12 Bolt. Oh, and I plan to get the LS6 intake and a 180 stat along with the ASP crank. Did you have to tune to get those numbers?

I'll be stoked at 430+HP! Bye bye rear end! (I'll have to save up for that.)

I'd get the LS6 intake or if your patient wait and get the LSX intake.

RGR seems to be a very good head.

Cool. As far as the intake, I am pretty dead set I am going to get 'em in. I know nothing about the LSX intake. If I can get one between now and Thanksgiving, it's a go.

More expensive? Better airflow? Please enlighten! Thanks.
