Ok - Time out

What are your goals for your truck?
What exactly do you have and what mods are done to it?

Mating stainless headers to aluminum heads is fine, you have a gasket in between. Use antiseaze on the bolts though.
Just don't use copper based antiseize. Copper and aluminum do not go well together.

6.0 heads would lower the compression ratio, I wouldn't reccomend it personally. And if they're $100 they might be the iron 6.0 heads, keep an eye out for that.

If you decide to go ahead and buy a set yea, all 4.8, 5.3, 6.0, 5.7 heads are interchangeable pretty much

So far just the exhaust that came on it when I bought it. I work offshore so I'm not gonna see my vehicle for 2 more weeks to put anything on it. I've ordered the k&n CAI so far and I'm leaning towards ordering either the pace setter armor coat headers or a set from TSP and a y pipe

I'm getting it painted, lowered and buying rims for it to so that's more money ill have to spend. The paint and rims are my first priority right now cause I want to get it show ready for Scrapin the Coast. But I'm purchasing performance parts to. I've been trying to find a good deal on a turbo or super charger

They are on a 2002 escalade my step dad has sitting up in his back yard I've been trying to talk him into letting me get the motor. A 6.0 goes for about 1000 bucks where I live at

Just buy a damn magnacharger and call it a day... more power than any of the bullshit you are toying with and it will keep you happy until you figure your way around here...

Search through the classifieds and you'll come across a good deal.
