I don't really think there is enough of the etp LS7 heads out there, regaurdless of cubes, to even guess at power gains over LS1/2/6 style heads.

It seems to work pretty good. I made just over 900 rwhp through a th400 on 17 lbs of boost and 18 deg of timing.

so im apparently an idiot...

et performance makes "ls7 heads" for a 4" bore? you can use em on say an ls2 block as opposed to having to have a 4.125 bore to use GM ls7 heads?

and does the GM ls7 intake bolt onto these heads?

What kind of pistons are you using? Are they custom for the valve angle? I wonder if 4.03" pistons with reliefs for 12* valves hard to come by?

Pistons had to cut a little, nothing big.
