Thread: Lingenfelter heads

  1. #1

    Lingenfelter heads

    I asked a couple months back about a cam and I bought the lingenfelter gt2-3 cam. I was wondering how well the heads would work cause the site says they are set up for the cam but im thinking of going ahead and having the bigger valves (2.02 intake and 1.57 exhaust valves) put on it and have the chambers hand rolled. What do you guys recommend? What gains would i recieve if I went ahead and used these heads. I just gathering up parts so i can put it all on at the same time.

    Yeah its a 207/220 .571/.578 cl of 118.5. its going in my 5.3 rcsb. I've got the intake programmer and Long tubes and cat back, intake, I'm going to have a different y- pipe welded up and put on with high flow cats and a yank truck thruster 3000 stall convertor. I'm going to get rid of the programmer when the cam goes in and get a nelson tune. Bout tax time i'm going to try to get a magnacharger for it.

    I would think you could get better heads for less dough.

    give me a few weeks. I just installed a 224 228 and the edelbrock lingenfelter heads on my5.3. I'll try to get some track times. I think my stall my be a little small but we'll see. I say do it anyways I'm running a procharger. I would like to see how a magnacharger with a similar setup would do. We could be test dummies for everyone else. lol

    I've looked at some patriot heads, but they have a larger cc and they would lower the compression on the motor which i'd kind of like to keep the compression where its at. Any other recommendations?

    Valves that big in a 5.3 will cause valve shroud.

    Thanks that shot my idea in the foot. Is that with the factory cc. Would I be able to go the patroit ls series heads the link is below and be fine?
