L92's flow 328/214 @.600
Patriot stg 3's flow 320/236 @.600 and are $1295 with great springs w/ titanium retainers and you can reuse your rocker assembly.
As I said, if you don't plan on porting the L92's and you have a good intake already then they aren't that great of a buy. You can save some money on the L92's though by buying them bare for $175 each and buying the valves, rockers, pedistals, seals + good springs seperately. That is what I did and I think I have ~ $850 in mine with Patriot Gold springs and rockers/ pedistal.

WCCH says they will have a L92 package pretty soon, I don't know about price shipped, but it might be pretty close.

Interesting info guys, the next few months should be interesting.
Maybe somtime this summer a SPONSOR cough, cough, would come up with a Budget L92 Conversion kit (Plug and Play) for the LQ9 which would include:
- Stock L92 Heads
- Rockers, pushrods, springs, etc
- Stock L92 Intake
- Fuel Rail and/or Injectors
- TB Adapter
- Cam of choice
