You might be able to help me then… Did you mill you heads at all? and did you need to fly cut? I was thinking of using the same setup LQ4s are stupid cheap ---

no the heads are stock with dual valve springs that is it. there was plenty of PTV with this setup. has been together for about 8-10k miles so far. you can also use a 799 casting on newer trucks too. but the corvette 243s use sodium valves and are lighter. thinking easier on valvetrain as i rev the motor to about 7k. ---

Interesting…I will probably look into milling and flycutting since the compression the LQ4 is lowww or get that fixed with boost. However I would much rather go quick NA If someone wants to help me find a LQ4 or LQ9 locally at a reasonable price I will toss you a finders fee ---

if lq9, they have higher compression. i would like to find one one day. work very well if staying NA. lq4 would work well on boost but if gonna mill the heads i would just look for another set of heads, just sold a set of patriot heads with 59cc chambers for good price less than buying 243 and milling them and purchasing dual valve springs. just an option to look into. ---

6L, 243s ported and milled a bunch, super vic, carb/MSD coil drive, something nice like a lunati 60521 or 60522, turn it 7500 would get a great setup. Even a Trex works good with a single plane, would be close to 500whp ---
