Re: GREAT 2008 PICS
the l9-2 head design was taken from the chevy ls7 project. GM truck division needed a head that would flow great and match the new 6.3L's power potential without sacrificing power due to a restrictive intake design.
Actually, those heads, with a combination of the L76 (i believe) manifold would give use LQ9'ers a chance to bolt-on one of the baddest heads ever produced by chevy. These heads are basically C5R heads with the 15* valve angle of our current LQ9's. These babies will out flow in stock form even the best 15* aftermarket cast ls6/lq9/ls1 head around. Imagine ported, if you dont loose port velocity and efficiency, these could be the baddest heads in v-8 pushrods.
anyways, our current motors are 364ci..the new ones are around 375ci-ish. New heads and intake flow, better tunning.. hell, i still think they are underpowered and need a ls1/ls6 type of manifold to really give them justice.
