Blaker888 Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Ok I was talking to a guy today who said a LS6 heads and cam who benfit my truck greatly I would like to know what u guys think and If he is wrong I have know idea what is best for our engines. Besides Nitrous and superchager. Also can running straight pipes with just cats hurt your motor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tawss04 Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 LS6 heads will bump your compression over 11to1. The heads on the SS are same configuration as a LS6 head but with a slightly bigger cc combustion chamber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sum 1 Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 plus there's no point in running a cam that's set to make power so high in the RPM range when you really need low-end torque Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quik Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 i have the ls6 heads on my truck. my SCR is 11.1 my cam specs are 232/234 .595/.598 112 lsa power band is 1800 to 6400 truck runs strong, some say this some say that but come for a ride in my truck and see it sure doesnt lack lowend and it sure pulls all the way to i shift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quik Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 dont use the heads then. use 317s for boost. you want lower SCR for boosted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaker888 Posted June 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Ok what does that mean cause Im new at this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sum 1 Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Ok what does that mean cause Im new at this! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He's suggesting that you don't use LS6 heads because they would effectively raise your compression. When you add FI (forced induction) to your motor you can run more boost by using lower compression to start. The stock heads on your LQ9 are "317s" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quik Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 boosted guys like low CR where i like more CR. over winter i plan on shooting for 11.5:1 to help maximize my setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
