How much boost do you plan on running?

Those ls3 heads are the same as l92 heads, right?

I read that l92 heads are not good for high boost.

They are no different than the 317 heads as far as boost... Everyone is screaming they wont work with boost but look how many is making GOOD power with them with FI
Plus I can run less boost and make same power compared to 317 heads... I want to see how far I can take OEM UNTOUCHED heads and intake...so I choose these to work with

Most guys start having problems with lifting oem heads around the 15psi mark. Head studs keep them down to 20ish I think.

SilveradoL33 ran 19psi in his all the time and it never had a problem. And another friend of mine put 23 into his stock LQ9 and it just seeped a little.

i know ALOT of people have wondered and have asked if you could put the IC behind the grill of a 99-02 truck... i know thats what i would rather have honestly... so i think i may try it... seems pretty easy even with the 34" radiator and using KBracing cold pipes as well just adding longer couplers in 3 spots and cutting 2 pipes shorter... i hope it works if not i am going to be **** out of luck...lol
