Well my trucks about done. I have one more decision I have to make. I have a set of 5.7LS1 heads that are fully Ported and polished with 2.02/1.57 valves and patriot gold springs. These heads have a 66cc chamber and will give me about 8.9-1 CR. The other heads are stock set of 6.0/317's. I would keep the stock valves, Port and polish them and of course put the patriot springs on as well. The other good thing about the 6.0 head is its 72cc chamber. That will give me about 8.3-1 CR..... Higher boost The down side is two weeks to get these heads ready to go plus more money compared to the 5.7 heads that are ready to go! I cant make up my mind so I thought you guys could help me out.

IF I used the 5.7 heads (8.9-1CR) I wonder if I could push 15 PSI without having any KR problems. The setup is going to be Twin 60-1 turbos with a big air to air intercooler up front.

I would wait for the 6L heads. The lower compression will make a world of difference. Just look at it this way: it could be the difference between 10's and LOW 10's
