32V heads. Shame its only for LS2 and LS7 motors...

[stevieturbo]

Interesting...


Cant help thinking the followers and pushrods will get a hard time operating a pair of springs though.

Seems to flow a lot of air though !!!

Id guess the only reason an LS1/6 block couldnt be used, is that maybe it would require the bigger 4.0" bore ?

[te51cle]

I wonder if Darton sleeves would be the solution to that ? Though I have read that the LS1/LS6 block has a coolant passage between the bores whereas the LS2/LS7 doesn't so perhaps that is the difference that prevents the older blocks being used.

Perhaps they saw your video in Germany and decided you didn't need any more power Tristram!

[te51cle]

Nah, I need more power, lower gearing in top and more grip !

Dartons do have coolinbg passages between the bores as do early blocks. I prefer the ls1 block fitted with Darton sleeves.

I've seen these heads on another forum and dealing with the company has been a problem according to some posters. For the cost it would be better imo to use forced induction.

The heads come with pushrods, they are specially strengthened.

What sort of problems? I have been looking at these for some time now with a serious view to getting them.

First problem is they are uncontactable - so far!

[stevieturbo]

And a supercharger is so much better

[te51cle]

I must say that when I first enquired it took Russ Arao 9 months to respond to my email ! A shame really as the product looks good. I'm not too keen on supercharging the C5 though due to the problems getting rid of the heat that is necessarily produced, especially important on a daily driver.

What heat ?

A&A, ECS, and now the KB setups, do seem to pretty much tried and tested, and sued daily in much harsher weather conditions seen here in terms of temperatures.

Go for it....
