^ Agreed. There's a lot of other things that go into account when selecting a set of heads. It's not just the flow numbers that tell you how they'll perform. The cross sectional area and runner size are a couple good indicators of performance. Looking at the exhaust to intake flow ratios help too. There's a lot of things to consider beyond performance. I haven't seen a set of ET heads before personally so I can't comment on them. I have a set of All Pro cathedral port heads and they are a work of art. They feature thick decks, the rocker area is super thick and reinforced, they feature a semi dry deck design, etc, etc....

My builder called All Pro about their 6 bolt heads and after talking about the set-up the All Pros were closing in on $8,000 with the parts that were needed. ET gave us a price around $4,000 complete for the LS7 style 6 bolt heads. I think the LS1 6 bolt cathedrals were $3,899 complete. IIRC.

I guess FI doesn't really require the top flowing head anyway, so they'll all make monster power given enough psi.

I got a quote from all-pro on their 6 bolt LS7 style head for $4700 with Enconel exhaust valves and BBC springs. If you went for all the top stuff, Titanium valves, Jessel rockers, etc., I can see them coming out to around $8K, that stuff is expensive. I also looked on ET's website and I don't see an advertised LS7 head that flow 397 at .650 int and 260 on the exhaust, where did you get that info? And your right, you don't need the best flowing head on the planet for FI.

The other thing to consider about the 6 bolt stuff is that right now ET isn't delivering heads (tell me how I know that!). They owe a number of places a number of sets of heads and keep pushing delivery back, and back, and back.

All Pro/WCCH seems to have a more readily available supply of castings at this time.

Newly Updated PRC LS7 CNC Heads Break 400CFM!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Guys we just finished up the tweaked version of our all new PRC LS7 cylinder heads & these bad boys broke the 400cfm mark!

The cylinder heads were revised slightly when it was moved over to our new machine & we're completely thrilled with the results!

Keep in mind this is a tweaked version of the cylinder head that already pushed our 06 Z06 passed the 600rwhp mark!

Here's the flow data:

.300 251
.400 305
.500 351
.600 385
.650 395
.675 400
.700 403

ex

.300 184
.400 207
.500 224
.600 237
.650 244

The exhaust was flowed without a pipe, the bore plate was a ls1 4.130" bore.

Definately nice heads but unfortunately are not 6 bolt.

do any of these 6-bolt heads come in L92 ports or just the LS7 and LS6

I was talking to Richard a while ago about a few new things coming out:

Good lord, someone better be ready to really turn the hell out of that thing...

Not ET heads. Hand ported LS7's are making those numbers. But not 6-bolt.

I would think a head porter could take the ET heads and work them to flow up in those ranges, no?

I have some nice pictures of Greg Goode hand ported ET 240cc heads saved on my computer from BeardWS6's build. Search under his name and you'll find the flow sheets. I believe they went around 350ish, but I'm a little rusty.

I've used both... And the ALL PRO's flow more, than the E/T heads. (intake and exhaust) But you are right about the E/T heads being cheaper. And plenty of folks are getting some good numbers out of the stock LS7 heads, but you can't get a large OD springs on them, and the deck is factory production weak and no 6-bolts per, as others have stated.

With that said, I'd run the 4.0" version of the E/T LS7 head over ANY cathedral port head on the market. They will except damn near any spring you want to throw at it, same goes for valve train. And on the 4.0-4.65" bore stroker engines... They are wicked!

Very good point here and cant be stressed enough. You need to match your application. The All Pro is a much beefier head than the LS7. Offset rocker pattern is designed for hi rpms.

BUT to the poster who said his builder said like 8k to set them up... find another builder or just go through Richard at WCCH! He quoted you almost twice what it should cost.

Mightymouse has a set of the cathedral port All Pros for sale in the FS section if you want to save some serious coin on them.

I went with the AP's from WCCH and an LS7 intake. The intake measures 92.5mm across for the opening from the factory.

Of course, you can do that to either head.

I have seen 400 cfm+ from LS7 heads a year and half go from a hand porter. I'll take a 6 bolt better built head any day over a little more flow though since I'm FI. I just wish I could have went with them now but funds is needed on other stuff.
