i think i read that the ls3 bare castings are cheaper than the l92 bare castings from GM..... ill never figure out GM's parts pricing..... kind of like how you can get a valve cover with 3 coil packs on it for $120, but if you just want to buy one coil pack its like $85

Its my understanding that LS3- 821, 823 and 5364 Heads castings are all identical.
821's have lighter, better valves.
Early LS3- 2716 Heads don't have the bulge in the upper intake port to help swirl the air.

True. I work for G.M and see broken valves often.I agree with the aftermarket Light valve and better spring theory.Good advise midevil 1.

Actually.... the 2010 production camaro 0821 casting has a different intake port from the older L-92/L76 heads, 364/716
.
They will not come out right when you cnc port them with the older program. We, competition cnc, had to develop and make a new program for the new style intake port on the new ls-3 heads.
Some where along the way GM changed the port shape in one of there 4 or 5 part number swaps for the head in the last year.
Its only a matter of time before the other cnc head porters out there figure this out also.
