Has anyone installed the new Trickflow X heads on there ZL1 I am thinking about putting them on my ZL with a different cam.

I have a trickflow genX set of heads. I don't know if they are the newest model out but they have made a lot of power on my car.

I have done the typical bolt on upper pulley cold air getting ready to put long tube headers but I figure to get the most bang for my bucks a set of trickflow gen X heads and bigger cam would fit my needs did you have any clearance issues at all?jessrayo

I have had ADM performance do all of the engine work on my car. I cannot say for sure if there are issues or not because Andy is such a good fabricator that if anything does not line up perfect he does custom fabrication to make it work perfectly. I know there is a lot a custom work on my car. I don't think any of it is directly related to the heads but I'm not certain.

Why don't you have LPE CNC your own heads,I let them do mine my car makes a ton of torque and HP plus it was cheaper.
Plus the cam I choose isn't that big.

When my car was at 750whp I had the best available Lingenfelter heads. They are a good choice also but the bench flow results are better on the trickflow heads. It is just a matter of how much power you are looking for in the end. If you even remotely think you might get crazy go for the trickflow. When you get over 750 it starts to get a little crazy on how much you have to spend to get a few more ponies. Heads and a cam will make a big difference if you push your boost over 10 to 12.

The reason why I said LPE is b/c Ryan @ LPE said they would open up my heads a more than normal(my heads flow more than trickflow),I'm @ 14 lbs now and could have went to a bigger cam pushing it over 800whp.

I have the same cam. It has a pretty hard choppy idle but can be tuned to soften it a bit. My tuner asked me and I told him to leave the lope. I like it

Mine still shakes a little but it really isn't there anymore.

I know of a car running the GT19. It has quite a bit more lift and I believe a 113 LSA. Hard to say how much difference because it's also running a heartbeat. I'm thinking of switching
