Best Bang For the Buck Heads
Ok ,Let me 1st state that I am not 100% sure this is in the Right forum,So if its not it may need to get moved ,I am on the Lookout For a Set of heads that wont Break My Bank Account,So That leaves the Afr & The ET performace heads out,What I Have is a Ls2 402 On a Novi2k Boosted motor that will See 14 Lbs of Boost ,& I am wondering Which of these 2 Sets of heads Would u Guys Reccommend Running & Why ?
The PRC LS3 cylinder This head Can be had for 1,079.00 ,These heads Flow Real Nice : 600 Intake/ 349 Exhaust/ 224 ;2.165 intk Valve /1.59 Exhaust Valve
,I didnt really wanna Get Caught up in Flow #S ,But what else should i consider Besides looking @ Flow #s ? Both sets of heads were Flowed on a 4.125 Bore .I Am Running a 4.0 Bore ,Same With the Patriot Lq9 Head, If u look @ These 2 Sets of heads, U can see that the Tsp -Prc Head Outflows the Patriot Heads & The PRC Head is also available with Hollow Valve stems,Looks Like the Prc Maybe a Better Choice for my Fi Application,I will Run A 72cc ,AnyBody else Running these Heads On Your Lsx Based Motor ? The Patriot Lq9 Flow #s
320 cfm
236 cfm
The Patriot Lq9 Heads Run a 2.08 Intk /1.60 Exh Valve

Hey...the best set of performance oriented heads are from CHEVROLET! They are the L92 heads for a truck. The head is based on a LS7 design with outstanding flow characteristics that cost about $180 each (bare) and less than $500, complete in stock form. I am running these on a 6.0L, stroked to 412cid and will be pushing air through them via twin T-62's. The heads have a huge 2.16" int. valve diameter and a 1.59" exh. valve diameter. Off the top of my head I believe the intake flows around 330 cfm @.600" lift. These are by far the BEST for the price! I suggest getting a bare set and building them to suit your needs. Livernois Motorsports sells them complete and CNC ported for around $2000. Simply put...HIGH PERFORMANCE FOR CHEAP!

The roller rockers are unique for the L92 head. You will NOT be able to use LS1 rockers with L92 heads. GM makes a set for relatively cheap. I have part#'s if you need them.

Okay...you need all the listed p/n below for the L92 heads from GM if you are going to use the GM rockers setup.
exhaust rockers:10214664
intake rocker:12569167
rocker arm support:12600936
bolts/screws:12560961
The exhaust rockers MIGHT be the same as stock LS1 rockers...not sure so check, you might save some $$.

Scoggin-Dickey has them in BARE form for $179.99. Yup, you are reading this right...or you can buy them assembled for less than $500 per head! It was such a good deal, I purchased 3 sets (bare) for flow testing and combination research.

is the 90mm throttle drive by wire or cable? if drive by wire can it be made cable driven
This head does have a specific intake manifold. GM p/n 12590123, for L76/L92 head engine, fully assembled, with injectors, fuel rail, 90mm ETC throttle body and gaskets. Not too many aftermarket intakes (for a reasonable price) for this head yet. Hopefully a manufacturer will wake up and see the potential for this need.
