LS7 Cylinder Heads
As Karch mentioned, I purchased LS7 heads. They are aftermarket castings from Dr.J's Performance. I had planned to run the LS7 heads right from the start. They flow a ton of air, but for my purposes I wanted something with good velocity. The ports are 265cc, a little smaller than some other LS7 versions. It will keep the bottom end response that I need. I chose to run a ported factory LS7 intake that I purchased from LS2 Portworks, stock LS7 fuel rails, and factory LS7 injectors. I do not see the need to spend almost a thousand dollars on a FAST intake. I bought a new 2009+ DBW factory LS7 throttle body. I am trying to maintain a level of simplicity on this project. Everything is based upon using as many GM parts I can. I learned a good lesson on the last motor by using a lot of aftermarket parts....not this time!
