    Default Head questions

    I did a quick search on here but couldn't come up with anything quickly. Just got a set of 243 heads off a 5.3L. Are they worth trying to put on my 09 g8 or is it a waste of time. Also is there anything else that would need to be changed? Thanks in advance

    No, those are cathedral port heads. Flow less than what you have plus you would need to change the intake manifold too.

    Rotohack 102 intake - 102 MAF - TPIS 102 TB - TVS1900 ported & plated w 8 rib 2.5" front + OD rear
    PnP Interchiller - RCR ported heads - RCR Lunati 219/231 113+1 - Forged Bottom End
    ARH 2" LT headers - Solo 3" CB - MT DRs + M&H FRs on Weld RT-S
    CTS-V fuel w Vaporworx - FAST 85s - Alkycontrol meth M15 + M10 - RCR tune

    You can find a set of LS3 heads with exhaust work done for a reasonable price. Landspeed development may have a set on the shelf.
    Rest in Peace Charlie!
