However, in order to obtain 600 rwhp numbers I would go with the lq4 and turbo it. That would be the cheapest and most efficient route to 600 rwhp without nitrous.

Get KB to hook you up with a nice Turbo kit

That's the route I'm taking. It's just a long and slow process.

You could swap them over but if your serious about making 600 rwhp the thought of 4.8 heads and intake should never cross your mind.

Your motor is just like your relationship, if you don't have good HEAD it will not work very well!

243s are a very nice stock head, TFS makes one of the best in the aftermarket
