I wouldn't really recommend more compression with FI, do a smaller pulley and a can and you should be good. I'd you really want heads but keeping compression hop minimal do some ported 241s. They'll breathe a little better with small compression gain

Good advice. The LQ9 is already 10:1 so unless you're going E85, you are pretty close to max on compression. Unless you are going for an all out system (ie:forged bottem end), high $$$ heads are a pretty low bang for the buck. There are too many examples of 700+ RWHP LS1's on LS1Tech with stock 317's. Spend your cash on a blower cam, a smaller pulley and Meth (if you don't already have a kit). You can reach your stock short block HP max on stick heads without breaking the bank.

Use the search function, and do your research before anything.
First of all for the Cam I would recommend the GT2-3 or GT-7 many have used them with boost, and got great results. The 90MM T/B won't fit because you have a 78MM So unless you get a 90MM intake that won't work. The meth Kit you Can Google and find different brands and names dependeing on what your wanting to spend.
