Ok, Me neighbor just gave me a set of Good LS1 heads (he got ls2 heads for his engine). Will they work on my 5.3? I am running an STS so this will lead to me cranking up the boost a good bit. I am also going to be swapping out the springs for a set of Yellow LS6 Springs. I don't wanna drop big bucks on these heads as I will be getting Dart's when I get ready to put my 6.0 on. I only ask because I have heard of shrouding issues with LS6 heads.

thats what I am thinking with my nitrous... I am going to run the 125 shot on it until I am ready to build another motor... then its time to pill it up and spray the house down!!! looks like you have some plans there.

well, I have a pile of parts and no money for the little pieces
IE: New heads and no money for Gaskets
New Suspension no money for shocks
W/A IC No money for a good reservoir
All this power and no money for Slicks

They'll bolt right up...but the bigger valves on the 3.89" bore may cause some shrouding and affect flow numbers negatively. with the STS it shouldn't be much of a problem but I figured you should at least know about it.
