LS7 heads are a little better, but the intakes are a lot better.

I would go with the LS7's also. Alot of power potential in those heads.

Then your good, I'd run those Ls7's too!

Diet has the FAST 102 iirc, the 102 mm TB will definitely help you.

Maybe he'll sell you his lol?
Chris do I get a finders treat? Lol

I agree the LS7's are a little better. If someone wants to spend the extra money for the LS7 intake and valve train then I would go with the LS7 setup. The LS7 setup will be better down the road when they decide to upgrade to a larger bore engine.

I am with these guys, the LS7s have the potential to make some pretty good power on that type of motor.

It sold the day after I listed it for sale. Can't wait for the hi-ram to get here.
