i did it and am going back to standard style heads. for a mild setup they produce some good results. but every stroker ive seen makes hardly the power they should unless the heads are ported. so basically it throws the budget out the door then.

I'm keeping the stock lq9 bottom end. The heads are shaved and ported and the cam is custom for the heads. We're expecting some pretty good numbers. I'm just kinda wondering why no one else went this route after seeing the amount of power possible. Do you really think I could have had the same results with a set of cnc'd cathedral type heads on the stock truck manifold and smaller TB?

I run them and i'm pretty happy. Definately a lot of head for the money. The reason you don't see the swap much is because you have to have a 4.0" bore so that rules out the LS1, 5.3, 4.8's etc. Honestly not many 6.0's out there that haven't had a head swap already.
