32vLSX stage II “B” heads $7499.00
32vLSX stage III “B” heads $8499.00

Ya, I can build a nice engine for that much or go FI for less.

It's basically bolt and play there, the price is very affordable.

If those prices are affordable to you, I want your modding budget.

Meh. If they are anything like the LT1 Arao/Dominion heads were, they are simply a figment of your imagination....

These are awesome, and if I had an LS7 in the first place, I could prob afford them. haha. Let alone building a nice engine for that cost I'm pretty sure I could build a decent car. If you can afford it then more power to ya and I'd definately like to day dream under your hood!

If I had an LS7 to start with, I'd still put the $ into FI instead of these heads.

I was going to say the same thing. Did unstablebob ever get his to work? Wasn't Bret helping him with that?

Yeah right.


Let's hope they fixed all the little problems that added up to so much trouble on the SBC version. I wonder if David Vizards PolyQuad conversion would help these heads at all....

I never even thought about that.

Does no one make 4 valve heads for an LSX? Or is coming up with the castings wayyyy too pricey?

With the vast choices of 240cc 325+ cfm LS6, 250cc 350+ cfm LS7, 255cc 375+ CFM C5R, and 285cc 420+ CFM Canted Valve heads...well.. there's no point in spending all of that money on a 4-valve setup if you're building a race motor

How did I know without even looking at the thread or cheating with thread preview that this was going to be about those 4v heads? I didn't even realize they were making them for the LSx but I just had a feeling. Anyway, the money would be better spent elsewhere. Those heads, from what I read, are a complete waste and a joke.
