L92's.. are they worth it? are stock L92s and an L76 intake setup worth the money over a set of stock 243's/LS6 manifold?
I've just recently purchased a complete LQ4 out of a truck ($650 bucks) that I have plans of putting in my '95 formula. since I cant use the intake/rails/injectors from the truck, and I really don't wanna use the 317s either, i thought about buying an L92/L76 setup.
a friend of mine has a set of L92's with comp 921's, an L76 with 42lb inj. prof. products rails, a NW90mm TB, and an SLP throttle cable bracket all with <500miles on them. asking $1400 bucks.
on the cheap side, I'd have atleast $400 for some 243's, $300 for an LS6 manifold, $200 for patriot springs. re-use my SVO 30lb injectors and stock TB.
I don't have a camshaft yet, I'm waiting to order one till I decide which heads I go with.

I'd say yes. That's why I've decided to go with L92's and an LS3 intake on my new 6.0 build. With a similar cam, on both setups, you'd be looking at probably another 50 whp more with the L92/L67 setup.

anyone here running any good times with an L92 head/cam setup?
I'm looking for some N/A 10sec runs.

i have no idea what the "limit" is. but I know a friend of mine ran 22psi through his L92's, and made 929rwhp through a TH400 and a 9inch.. he was knocking on the 8-second door with them.

L92's, higher compression, hydraulic roller=Great heads!!
Deck is kinda thin for any serious boost or nitrous, unless you go with All Pro L92's.
Spring pocket is kinda small for a big solid roller spring although some have worked with it and had success.
My L92 headed motor, 441cubes, hydraulic, stock ported intake, 13:1cr-nothing exotic ran like a champ (now it's sold) mid to high 9's N/A any day of the week.
