im going to be getting a set of stock lt1 heads and intake ported and polished and a valve job i believe, ive got a comp cams 224/230 cam to go in as well.... what do you recommend i ask the guys to port the heads to? can someone give me some help on this... im pretty lost on what to do....

 

Definitely port and polish your heads. And while you're in there think about getting your valves ground and bigger rocker studs put in! I have a similar set up...you can see in my sig!!
Good luck!

 

what kinda power you making, do you know?? how much did you get ur heads ported?... what size vavles do u have...

 

see sig for hp. I can't recall the exact flow numbers for the heads. They were not too radical. The valves are stock...I just got a 3-way grind job done on them and had bronze valve guides installed too.

 

ohok.. i dont know how i missed that lol...well.. do u know if they are more like stage 1, 2 or 3? do you like how the car feels powerwise?

 

As a guy who deals with this at least once in awhile ... You really need to have some sort of goal and budget in mind, so that a head guy can figure out what would fit best for you. It sounds like you would be satisfied with pretty basic machinework & porting. You may not need the spring seats machined to accept a larger aftermarket locator, but while the heads are apart I would recommend it, as well as cutting down the guides to accept a more standard sized seal. Hard to say exactly what would work best however without some sort of budget in mind

 

Yeah, I like the way the car feels!! It was a totally different beast after I did the cam and heads!! I actually got a speeding ticket 10 minutes after getting the running right!! The car was just so different. As for what stage the heads are, I really don't know. I do recall that the flow numbers aren't as high as some guys on here, but then again lots of flow isn't always a good thing...it depends on your valves and what your power goals are. At 362 rwhp, I'm pretty happy....surprised a lot other F-bodies and Stangs!! ; )

 

i see i see... well AI, as far as budget thats hard to say, im only 24, have a house basically already paid for, so pretty much what i do put in savings and towards bills go to the car and for the most part... ive got an ok budget to deal with.... what i basically want, is if there is a car beside me acting like hot sh*t, i wanna stomp it once, and them just be like HOLYF**K....i was actually thinking about stage 2 or stage 3porting, but if i do that im not sure what all i need to change, is it true that i need to change my TB pretty soon?

 

Your TB should be good to 400rwhp. I talked to Ed Wright and told me to leave the TB and MAF alone...all stock UNLESS I go huge hp. You should be fine!

 

i see.. up to 400 huh, interesting, what about injectors, when do i need to chnage those? what HP #s?
and i meant to say DONT earlier not do,
