lt1 heads ???
Unless he bought LT4 heads and intake and put them on his car, he has regular LT1 heads on his 97.
If they are actually LT4 heads, they are very good for porting.
If they are LT1 heads, he may want to buy some trickflows or something.

actually a 97 could have an LT4... rare but they produced several hundred LT4 fbodies in 97
depending on his goals I would say sticking with the LT4 heads.

he bought the car from a friend who was the second owner the original owner put the lt4 package on and added a vortech plus all kinds of suspension parts. the second owner paid 22k for the car in 2000 my buddy bought the car a few months ago after it sat in storage for 4 years ( the guy was in the navy and just got out). the car had an overheating problem never letit get hot. he bought the car cheap and we fixed the fan wiring and no more overheating. but the car is high milage with alot of blow by. so like everyone he wants more pwer.....sorry so long and thanks.

Stock LT-1 heads can make a lot of power. If they are confirmed to be lt-4 heads, all the better. Send them out to a quality head porter (I prefer Advanced Induction) and go from there.
They did a set of their 200cc CNC LT1 heads with a small turbo cam on a 355. It has a pt-88 turbo on it and makes over 1,000 RWHP.
You can check the AI results page:
http://www.advancedinduction.com/AiPerfLT1.html
or: http://www.forcedinductions.com/
under the 'top gun customer list'.
You can do sweet **** with the stuf you have, so concentrate your funds on other aspects of the project. I bet you can get a nice set of Mahle pistons and assorted gaskets for the price of a new bare head casting.

i didn't figure they'd be ready for sale for a while....either way, the version that's still out is an AWESOME head....i've had some very good luck with the 195cc competiion port heads...out of the box i've seen a handful of cars (including mine) make over 400rwhp with a decent cam and some good tuning.
either way, my vote stays with AFR

Total Engine Air flow has a set of Trick Flow castings that they CNC'd to 200 cc int runners. They have very good flow number's. If you go to their web site look up the GM LT1 stage 3 heads.
