I kinda wish there were a few more results myself. As for my car, yea, 650 is sounding nice. anything over will be stunning.

My head porter would rather use a stock casting head with is port work or the Trick flow units vs what other aftermarket companies offer. He can make the stock castings outperform the aftermarkets. So your saying people with a 4.125 should spend more money. If you can make the cheaper head casting run as good or better then the more expensive stuff why use the more expensive stuff? Because it gives you a good feeling about how much money you can through around??
To say they are a poor choice is weak. Research doesnt mean **** if you cant prove it yourself. Something that I can. Can you?

if you can afford a 4.125 block you can afford LS7 heads. a big bore block (4.125+)is going to cost you roughly $2000 more than just a 4.00 block.
by your same logic 243 heads would be a good choice too because they are cheap, the bigger bore would unshroud the valves more etc. only good thing about the L92 heads is that they fit on a 4.00 inch bore. if you want to you can buy LS7 as cast heads, which would still outflow L92 heads. the only reason why you want to run a bore bigger than 4.125 is so that you can get LS7 heads on the motor in the first place. its self defeating to put inferior heads on a motor in the first place. lets put L92 heads on an LS7 and expect it to produce more hp :ROFL:

anyone have any idea on the aluminum version???
i would rather get the aluminum version cause im not gonna boost or anything. Plus the aluminum lsx will probably take like 80 lbs off the front. N/A all the way
