WCCH LS7's
I got a set from Richard @ westcoast + a mamo ported LS7 intake. I really don't remember the total cost but it was around $3300, I think. Call him, he knows his stuff ! I would'nt mind trying the fast 102mm but no good comparisons yet. + lots a dough for that intake !
Richard re CNC's the exhaust yet leaves the intake alone. I polished up the intakes the best I could to get rid of the rouch CNC ing that GM did.
The PRC's are nice too, but I don't think they do anything to the Exh ports?
I've had 0 problems with the heads. Had to drop the engine for a bad lifter n went with the Morels.
I used Harland Sharp LS7 Roller Rockers that bolt right to the factory pedistal. I think they cost + - $650 7.475 pushrods.
I'll Finally get some dyno numbers when I fly home 4 labor day.

Actually, alot of the power gained by the PRC port work on the LS7's comes from the work on the exhaust side of the head. PRC does both intake and exhaust.

We've gone well into the 600rwhp range with stock bottom end LS7s & 750+flywheel hp with the LS7 on a street 454 LSx Shortly you'll be able to buy the PRC LS7 head in a thicker ETP casting incase you guys need 6 bolts or thicker decks!!
