Advanced Induction Cylinder Head Development
100% CNC'd 232cc Big Valve GM LS6/LS2 Cylinder Head Package

This is a version of our 232cc full CNC work with a larger 2.055" / 1.575" valve set instead of the stock 2.00" / 1.500" valves.  It is mainly helpful on 4" & larger bore applications running large high lift cams, and adds approximately 15-30hp potential to the head depending on build (stock short block vs. more stroke / RPM).  This can put 6L stock short blocks over 500rwhp, and strokers well over 500rwhp.  The highest #'s reported for a typical hydraulic roller street build have been over 550rwhp / 525rwtq SAE on a Dynojet.  It can be particularly helpful for 4" stroke apps.  Works best with at least 230deg of cam & .62X" net lift.  Properly running the larger valve entails cutting out the stock seat inserts, and machining the seat counterbore for a larger aftermarket seat insert to ideally fit the 2.055" intake.  The premium over the standard 232cc CNC work includes the additional machining, aftermarket intake seats, and a full set of Manley Race Series Stainless Steel valves.

Pricing is for work applied to a pair (2) of cylinder head castings and components YOU supply unless otherwise noted.  We are happy to build your heads with whichever spring kit, valve, etc. you would like.  Please keep in mind if components you provide require additional time on our part, we must bill for that.

Labor and Component Options:

Note: GM heads often show so little guide wear that they do not need to be replaced.  In the event they do require attention due to wear or your application, we have several options.  GM OEM exhaust valves are high quality, durable, and lightweight.  Most applications do not need an aftermarket exhaust valve.
