The good news is that they plan to offer an intake kit also. The intake will come with injectors, fuel rails and a 90 MM throttle body. The target price for the kit is $475.00.

The L92 heads and intake kit will be a very cost effective performace upgrade for the LS engines. Look for the heads to be availble 3rd quarter.

I will advise more on the intake kit when I get a release date.

drve by wire ?

An upgrade to LS engines? Maybe I missed something, but don't you need a 4.00" bore to use these heads? Seems the LS1/LS6 guys with the smaller bores are out of luck. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Yeah you need atleast the 4" bore, they are setup for a 4.060 chamber and use 2.12 intake valves.

Just know that because I am awaiting a set as we speak. Eager to get started on the custom intake.

How is GM getting 10.5:1 compression with a 68cc combustion chamber? Are they running really thin head gaskets? I am assuming the pistons are flat tops, anybody seen one?

Well its a 4.060 bore, with 68cc and about a .050 gasket you are right around 10.5-10.6:1 with a flat top.

Have you gotten anything in the works as far as cnc or porting for these budget heads? It seems like these will be a VERY popular option, especially with the pricing. I'm putting together a 446ci Darton Sleeved LS2 super stroker with the L92 heads/sheetmetal intake and would love to see 360+cfm out of these heads. This is all being put together thanks to MizFit Motorsports! I think you've talked to Taylor about this, but I'm just wondering if you have thought about it anymore....my heads are at his shop now

Thanks!
Adrian

A 4.06 bore x 3.622 stroke equals 375 CI not 378 CI.

The first post say's 378 CI. Either that or the Bore of 4.06 is wrong?

Just thought I'd mention that.

Does anyone know which one it is?

I believe it's a 4.065 bore could be wrong but I remember somebody saying that.

My fault, just shot from the hip. Either way, its more valve than you need for that bore size.

That still only makes it 376 cubic inches?

Something is wrong with GM's data.

I'm supposed to have a couple of sample heads on the way. I'll start working on a program as quickly as I can.
