Car geniuses are working on that issue as we speak!

i found this article and it has pics of both 2010-11 heads and the 2012 and it looks like it could be easy swap http://www.lsxtv.com/news/camaro-v6-...cylinder-head/

They are saying it will swap. I got a feeling this will be a popular mod.

im pretty sure it will be ... weight reduction and better flow ..win win lol

^plus more power and prob easier to slap a turbo on.

Well I always love it when people say --- buy the v8 - I think the goal here is for GM to push out a v6 turbo. Not everyone wants 412hp and 12mpg. Gretchen got growl has twin turbos and 29 mpg on the highway. That is the ticket.

+1 and you can get 412 RWH easily when they get the fuel issue ironed out. I think they are close now with small boost.

[Agarc]

+1 for the frankenstiening

All the turbos seem to keeping or even increasing their fuel effiency when they get over the initial excitement of having the extra power. It is a win-win if you aren't worried about the warranty. Now, if GM will give us one from the factory we can have it all.

once i drop in the new 2012 heads and valves my warranty will go unless you know my dealer wants to be cool.. and get a fist bump lol

now that i think of it i dont think they would use somthing like headers maybe something that looks more like a downpipe with that one opening

If your dealer is cool, and you buy the heads from them and let them do the swap, I wouldn't be suprised if they would warranty it.

On the downpipe, you are exactly right. That's why it would make the LFX easier to turbo. Instead of a custom manifold and downpipe, you only have to make the downpipe and fit a flange to the manifold (maybe a pipe with a flange on both sides if you wanted to mount it in the engine bay.

I wonder how much they would charge ... well now that i think of it my ladys Cousins husband works for cadillac maybe he can hook me up lol.. sigh im getting ahead of myself i got to wait till they come out

I would not trade my heads for the 2012 heads. I'd have mine worked on a flow bench by a professional increasing the flow by much more than GM did for 2012 and then put headers on. I'd bet that the 2010-11 heads with headers outperform those heads. Plus GM won't be letting them go cheap. Anyone have a before and after rwhp dyno of just a headers install? I'd bet more than an 11 hp gain.
Gretchen, if this is truely a fuel supply issue, how did you solve it with twin turbo's. Eventually someone will come out with a supercharger for the LLT, they have them for the 5.0L and it's direct injection right? EDIT, nope I guess it's not DI, but rather just VVT.
