Lq9 hp in 70 rs help Im new to this so to start out im building a 70 camaro rs ive found a lq9 what do I need to do to this motor to put my car in the low 11s car has 410 gears prob goin with 700r or what do yall think headers cam? What would it take heads? Any help would be great cause.like I said I am new to the ls.scene thanks alot
The heads you have are probably cast iron and large combustion chamber, so low compression, they are good for boost sense they are strong. For N-A is best to invest in a good set of heads, like the Mast Performance or PRC from Texas speed p/n 199-prc215
Or Mast Performance p/n 510-321
pay $25. get the cam spec for your app camhelp@guerragroup.com.
get a set off headers, good dual exhaust, and very very important, an FTI 3700 stall torque converter, 9.5"..
some slicks.
All this sounds like a lot of money but, take your time, get good parts, do it rite, do it ones.

Id get a set of 243 heads and have them ported by a vendor, or just buy already ported 243 heads. The 243's will also increase compression as a stock form bolt on and more if they are milled any. And as stated above id get a camshaft spec'd for your application.
I'd get me a Stroker kit from eagle for a 408 ci lq9. Or give AES a call to get advise on an Lq9 427 that they build all the time.
As far as a top end you can either go trick flow but that's easily $2k+ or a set of Ls3 heads ported and polished for $1600.
As far a a cam, Fraser at AES is good at spec'ing them out. But you can always call Comp and they can set you up but only once you get your engine specs and heads. Then all you have to do is Call them and they'll set you up for free. Also don't get a stall until you get the whole engine and drivetrain finalized.

This is what i would do^^^ I'm doing pretty close to the same project at the moment and i'm trying to talk him into milling the heads also to bump compression...
