I dont know much about LSx motors but I can tell you those heads are OK. Theyre decent but nothing to write home about going off the flow #'s, which to me dont mean shit. Other than that I've seen a couple people use them but if I remember right they seem to be a limiting factor on things.

Talk to Don. He is dealer for a lot of those companies and can tell you where to put your money and don't waste it on other things.

Another show Lady- Why does your car say Corvette on the engine? We have a Corvette and your car doesn't look like one. LMFAO

i dont like the huge drop in exhaust lift in your cam for the exhaust weak 5.3 heads. the extra 2 degrees of durration may help a little. it will be tuned just fine if Don gets his hands on it But a better cam i feel may net you more power IF thats all your after. But say on a budget you'll be WELL OFF for a set of 1200 dollar heads. they should perform better then Fast As Cast Trickflows.

Don't know what the F13 Cam is for durations but more than likely the pistons would have to be cut to get the most out of the heads.(milled)
