    Heads Question

    Right now I have a 5.3 that will eventually be swapped for a 6.0. My question is would a set of cnc'ed trickflow 215's be to big for the smaller 5.3 or would i be better off with a set of cnc'ed 243's?

    depends on what 6.0? lq9 or 4, for the money id just go with some 2.5 5.3 heads but then again whats the end result gonna be?
    Simple: 408 on steroids!

    Right now I'm looking for a LQ9. I'm going to prolly go with the comp 222-224 566-568 lift cam and fast LXRt intake and 3200 Circle D converter. If I find the right 6.0 block first, i will prolly go bigger with the cam & converter. What is the 2.5 5.3 heads? I haven't heard of them. I just don't want to buy one set and then wish later I had have went a different route. I did that on a BB build I done several years back. Which ever head I buy I just want to go the best route and dont know a whole lot about the newer style motors.

    I wanna go as fast as my decent mpg will let me. LMAO!!!! Seriously, I'd like to eventually see some high 11's. I realize that that will take more HP in a ecsb than it would in a rcsb.

    It's not that hard I run a ecsb. Runs 12.6 on motor and high 11's on spray. Nothing really special about it either.
