Official Release:
RHS Pro Elite LS3 Cylinder Heads: Big Airflow for Your LS Engine
RHS Pro Elite LS3 Cylinder Heads sure do flow a lot of air—372 peak CFM on the intake side at .700 inches of valve lift and 243 peak CFM on the exhaust side at .800 inches of valve lift.
The Pro Elite LS3 heads have a six-bolt head design to provide more clamping force, which prevents head gaskets from popping on high-compression and boosted engines. It also makes the heads compatible with RHS LS Race and Chevrolet Performance LSX blocks. If you have an OEM 4-bolt block, you can still use the Pro Elite LS3 heads by simply leaving the bolt holes for the center cylinders unused.
Like all RHS cylinder heads, the Pro Elite LS3s are cast with the patented Clean Cast Technology process that eliminates casting flaws and promotes a smoother internal surface finish for greater air and coolant flow.
