So you gotta admit that the ls1 heads flow big time at only .600 lift for a head with a total investment of less then $1500 bucks!!

That's what I LOVE about LS1's!

They flow good,not bad for a street head. I have seen some killer LSX heads that flow low 400's.I did a friends Ls6 heads acouple years ago and they flowed 390 at 650.

I was just pointing out that while it is possilble to out flow out the box heads,it's going to take quit abit of port work on stock heads,Brodix heads IMO are the best for out of the box performance.and are the closet to advertised flow #'s I have seen.

Here's a Brodix block 427 we're doing for a 3rd gen Camaro. Standard everything on the block except the rocket block style oil pan. Off the shelf parts inside except for reduced base circle cam. Brodix gives you alot of options.

What's their pricing on a block?

Tom, why a reduced base circle, don't they raise the cam like a rocket block?? What is the deck height?

I think it was in the $4500 range. I'm not at the shop so I don't have the exact price.

We ordered standard cam location and standard deck to work with parts he already had.

That sounds like a good price. I'm still torn though on whether to do an aluminum or not though. Everyone is saying that there can be a horsepower loss for the first couple of builds because of the sleeves moving around inside the block. Jonny does the car handle a ton better or do you not notice it?
