THE LS FAMILY ALUMINUM HEAD
The LS Family of GM engines has continued our tradition of
raising the power potential of the legendary small-block V-8. The
LS6 cylinder head came as standard equipment on the amazing
405-horse ZO6 Corvette and the 2005 Corvette with the LS2
engine. These heads can be installed on any 1997-2005 LS Family
of V-8 engines (except 4.8L 5.3L versions), and the GM
Performance Parts engineers have even designed fully-CNC-ported versions to get your late model GM engine screaming right
along. Our complete assemblies come with bee-hive valve
springs and light weight hollow stem valves innovations that
our competitors have had to copy to catch up to our designs.
Weve already done the validation of these heads in competition
in our show room stock C5R Corvette racecar, so you can be
assured our LS6 race heads will live up to your demands.
