Thanks Mike,
I went with the 823 heads for 2 reasons.
One, they flow better and two, I got a great deal on them.
Each head had a broken exhaust bolt in them and the owner of the machine shop ended up fixing them for free. Good guy.
I am replacing the dished LQ4 pistons with LQ9 flat top pistons to bump up the compression a bit. The 2005 LQ4 rods are already the floating design but I think I will upgrade the rods for better ones with arp bolts.
