20+PSI??? You need to make it hold together for a bit before even thinking of boosting it, let alone 20+PSI.

You wouldn't believe he'd get the cart before the horse would you? You know Cody has to talk like he's with the big dogs.

well i have a guy that worh hand and hand with gm and not to bad mouth anyone their is not a person port work can compare to the l92 heads and the guy said the heads would hold about 25 lbs of boost.just think on a 4.03 bore i will be running a 2.25 valve.commen sense will tell you that with that kind of vavle difference they will out flow any head on the market.this is why i change my mind about the vic. jr intake they will not work together.

GMPP is making a carb intake with rails and tb for less than 500 here soon, you still will have slight problems with valve shrouding even on a 4.03 bore with those large of valves. I dont know for sure what heads Im going with but I dont think Im going to go with the L92s unless Richard can come up with some good numbers for less than what the edelbrocks I want.
