Trick Flow engineers used the best features of OEM GM LS3 and LS7 cylinder heads, combined with their own race-winning engineering and technology, to create the GenX® 255—the ultimate ultimate square port LS cylinder head for 4.000" and larger bore engines. The heads feature fully CNC Competition Ported runners with a premium high resolution surface finish for maximum airflow and performance potential. Stock LS3 ports accommodate LS3-style intake manifolds and LS9/LSA blower assemblies. The valve angles have been changed from 15° to 12° to increase piston-to-valve clearance and allow the use of larger camshafts. The coolant holes through the head deck were redesigned to work with all LS head gasket and engine block combinations. GenX 255 heads are available with standard or 6-bolt per cylinder mounting patterns. Trick Flow GenX 255 cylinder heads are emissions-legal under CARB E.O. #D-747 for 2007-present GM vehicles with 6.2L engines. They are available fully assembled or as bare castings. Sold individually.

Building on the features that make the GenX® 255 for GM LS3 great—like 12° valve angles and relocated valves for reduced valve shrouding and improved piston-to-valve clearance—Trick Flow's GenX® 280 HIP cylinder heads withstand the abuse of high horsepower, power-adder performance demanded by today's racers and engine builders. The GenX® 280 heads list of features is long, and it starts with the HIP'd (Hot Isostatic Pressed) castings. This process significantly increases the casting's density for improved tensile and fatigue strength. It continues with industry leading airflow through CNC Competition Ported 280cc intake ports and Trick-Alloy™ powdered metal valve guides for added longevity. Manley Severe Duty intake valves and Extreme Duty Inconel exhaust valves are designed to withstand the abuse of extreme temperatures and stresses of big power adder applications. Trick Flow® by PAC Racing dual valve springs, titanium retainers, .750-inch thick deck, and 6-bolt-per-cylinder mounting pattern round out the features. Trick Flow® GenX® 280 HIP cylinder heads for GM LS3 work with all LS3 intake manifolds and LS9/LSA blower assemblies and fit all LS head gasket and engine block combinations. These cylinder heads are available fully assembled or as bare castings. Sold individually. Key features: * 280cc intake ports and 67cc combustion chambers * HIP'd casting * Accepts 3/8 in. pushrods * Powdered metal valve guides * 2.165 in.

Utilizing the popular LS 6-bolt design, they are compatible with the GM LSX block and all aftermarket iron or aluminum 6-bolt per cylinder LS race blocks. The design offers increased clamping capacity over the standard factory 4-bolt configuration and greatly improves head gasket sealing, making them ideal for high-compression naturally aspirated engines and high-boost applications. Edelbrock Victor CNC heads are manufactured with premium materials and machined to the industry's tightest tolerances. They have an 11-degree valve angle, copper infiltrated powder metal valve seats, and fully CNC-machined ports for maximum airflow. The machined runners and chambers, along with the valve angle increase overall flow capability, while the revised water jacket design enhances thermal conductivity and tunability. Premium manganese bronze valve guides withstand long wear with emphasis placed on holding precision tolerances on valve seat concentricity, allowing the valves to seal securely, eliminating leak down and increasing cylinder pressure during engine operation. Finally, the .700 in. thick deck and reinforced rocker rails make these cylinder heads ideal for high-horsepower applications.

Chevrolet Performance LS9 CNC-ported cylinder heads represent a new benchmark in factory engineering high performance, blending the strength and durability of the production LS9 cylinder head castings with the airflow enhancements of precision CNC porting. The result is about 10 percent more efficiency than the production casting, while delivering the greater strength built into the LS9--Rotocast from super-strong A356T6 aluminum alloy. With the Rotocasting method, the mold rotates to more evenly distribute the molten alloy, creating a denser casting that virtually eliminates porosity. And compared to the similar LS3 heads, Chevrolet Performance LS9 CNC-ported cylinder heads feature reinforced webbing and a thicker deck for greater rigidity and minimal distortion. The A356T6 alloy also manages the higher heat of a forced engine more effectively. The heads come fully assembled with production, lightweight titanium intake valves, sodium-filled exhaust valves, and strong beehive-type valve springs that can handle up to .570 in. lift and can be installed on any LS engine with at least a 4.000 in. bore using standard 11mm head bolts.

To support the higher combustion pressure and temperature that come with forced induction, the heads were produced with a unique Roto-cast method in super-strong A356T6 aluminum alloy. With the Roto-cast method, the mold rotates to more evenly distribute the molten alloy, creating a denser head casting that virtually eliminates porosity.
