    that should be one sick build. im just leary on the stock heads being milled with lifting since they deck is much smaller now.. however i dont see 1 reason why this wont be a successful outcome
    2002 Lightning - GT headed 5.5Litre w/ Twin 7665s
    2002 Silverado - 427Lsx w/ Twin gt4202s
    2010 Silverado crewcab Z71 - 5.3litre w/ procharger
    2000 Wrangler - 5.3litre with some stance
    2014 Xsport- 3.5 Eco boost
    412 Motorsports

    it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference

    as was i but by running the LS9 head gasket i hopefully took care of that issue... .070 vs .051 and that sticks me at a 9.6:1 CR

    lol that is .070 quenched...they are a 9 layer MLS gasket...badass gasket and come on the ZR-1 so you know they are designed for a lot of boost

    no no not the gasket compressed. im saying the CC quench. i know when you run a thinner then stock gasket the quench goes up and less chance of detonation. Just curious cause ive read where ppl double stack gaskets to say .8 and run into detonation issues.. thats my concern
