second up is a set of L92 heads. they flow the best of any stock production truck head avaible. something like 335 on the intake side. 2.16 and 1.6 valves i do believe they are stock on the new 6.2 esclades and will work well with the new 408

weren’t you the one trying to tell me that lsx heads are soooooo different that they flow better with alot smaller valves? If you don’t sound too stupid in your posted retort there will be a domination sticker on you truck for prepin your heads. Act like a hard ass and I’m not doing them sucka!

yes i did say LSX…standard cubed motors. but these are based of a Gen IV motor. these heads dont like the typical cams most LS series use either. they like more overlap in between duration unlike typical LS cams around -+ 10 where these like 20 -+ or more in split

i do believe they accept stock style headgaskets

ill probably be using cosmetic since i want high CR so i might end up with a .030 gasket or so depending on PTV

that intake is one of 2 avaible at the moment. the other one is the truck intake which i dont want cause of looks and the lack of topend…soon they will have a carb’d style avalible
