3 Valves per cylinder?? WTF?? The show "Extreme 4x4" on speed channel mentioned that the Gen IV came with 3 valves per cylinder on some of the motors...
Minute 4:18 I believe

Just shitty information (what I'm thinking) or is there some mysterious head out there that no-one talks about?

Yup bad info.. , ALTHOUGH there is such a head, it was a concept for the LS7 motor but they opted out at the last minute for the 2 valve setup.

Cool info "TheBlackPlague"! I never knew that. That head design almost looks like and after thought and can see why they went a different direction. It'd be interesting to see how it performs though!
An aftermarket company makes a 32-valve LSx head...

If you do some research on the company, it's a PR nightmare.

yeah, the arao heads have been forum-wonder for a while.. never know the ls7 3 valve stuff though...
I think they've done enough ls stuff on the show to know better, so id chalk it up to editor slippage

Just saw this episode.... SO much wrong information I was basically screaming at the TV.
90 psi of fuel pressure from the stock filter??? Yea right.
LQ9 is "just like a LS1"... HAH,
Apparently the LS6 is a gen4 motor and shares no relation to a LS1.
The "tuning" information they provided was a joke... They showed 3 different pcm setups and kept going between dbw and typical cable throttle.

I saw the show yesterday and thought he said 3 valves but wasnt sure. I said to myself there is no way they are that dumb to say something like that on tv. Well guess i was wrong.
