Good guess. I would say that I am pretty much at the limit of stock ls3 heads on a 4.030 bore as far as hp goes, maybe a few more if I wasnt running marine application. Valve shrouding is hurting me so the only thing left to do is porting. I am done playing around with them for the summer and am going boating. At the end of the season, mid november lol, gotta love Arizona, I will be doing cnc heads and roller rockers. Results will be posted again.

High compression? 11:1 vs stock ls3 10.8. Nope. Mild compression 91 octane gas sippers. Didnt meet my mark. Thats on me. But torque where I need it, not where it breaks drives. Hell I can rev it to 7k safely if I dare lol.

That beIng said, prob not where id want to be with a carburetor setup and basic ignition setup. I don't think 11:1 compression is "mild" by any means, for a pump gas boat engine. Id say its a bit closer to borderline , and a bad tank of gas away from knocking itself to death. LS or not, detonation doesnt care what you name the engine. Id keep a close on that tune . What kind of egts were you seeing from cyl to cyl?
