LS6 heads and cam to LS1...?

[chevtrev]

Hi there
I've just bought a new SS ute to tow the race car,will I have to do computer mods to maximize a LS6 head swap.
I have spare LS6 heads along with a 228 cam and comp 918 springs.
I'm picking it up tommorrow and am kind of happy with the performance,but its no biggie swapping over the heads,however,I don't want to spend a fortune on computer configuration.
Appoligise if its a no brainer,but PH is my first port of call.
Is it worth bothering,thoughts please..

You will need to re-map the engine whatever mods you do. This isn't very expensive. Indeed, a re-map, with some bolt ons if required, depending on how much power you want, will be more cost effective than swapping cams and heads etc.

I would offer to do it for you, but i note that you a 12000 miles away!!! So maybe not.

Plenty of good advice and sponsors who can do the work on www.ls1.com.au

Hope this helps.

Thanks Monkfish
I'm aware a remap should awake possibly up to 300 kw's,I just thought,since I have it hanging around it may be worth it.
What do you think is possible with a remap,head as explained ported tb, (2004 vette)and 3" straight through,no cats and flowmaster.(existing headers)
