We've been discussing this for a while. Seems the 799 heads are first seen in 2005 on the 5.3L33 and the LS2. They have larger valves and supposedly are interchangable with the 243 heads.
I read on the corvette forum that a few guys had one of each???

I'd leave them alone or mill them a little if you want to increase CR but for that cam neither are necessary. All I did was swap to 918's (springs) and mine are holding up fine

afaik the valves in the 799's are the same as the 243's. Contact Richard @ WCCH, I'm sure he can offer better insight on working them than I can.
