LS/LT/LSX ENGINE SERIES CYLINDER HEADS

Go with the airflow

Chevrolet Performance cylinders are tested for excellence for durable performance on street or strip.

LS FAMILY PRODUCTION AND C5R ALUMINUM CYLINDER HEADS

Great cylinder-head airflow has been a key enabler of the LS-Series’ exceptional performance. Chevrolet Performance delivers those power-building attributes to you with a range of production-style aluminum heads — from the LS6 heads for smaller-displacement engines to LS7 style heads for 427-inch-and-larger combinations, our aluminum heads benefit from Chevrolet Performance’s extensive research and development program, providing airflow.
