Do you have any more data about the cam. Any dynos, track runs are anything. This by far is the most mysterious mod i have ever seen lol. Everybody talks about it but never any data. Sorry for changing the subject thanks

I dont know.
It sems like a hell of a lot of work just changing out the heads.
I worked all day and I have not even got the heads off yet.

On top of that,the intake runner gaskets are shot for some reason and I did not order new ones,so I hope I can find a set tomorow.

With the LT headers Im quessing this is going to take 2 or even 3 days.

Not sure I could survive a cam install on top of it all.

If I cant get a 12 second slip without a cam,then Ill put a 6.4 in there are see what happens.
Nice new truck.

Weird, I pulled the heads on the old hemi in 3 hrs, including the headers. When I did the whole head/cam/intake swap in the spring it did take me a good 5 days so just take your time.

What's your biggest hold up with the removal?

My biggest tip will be to install the LTs on the heads BEFORE putting the heads in place, with a friend underneath you can get everything lined up a lot easier, plus you don't have to attempt to bolt headers inplace.

Dang those look sweet. Do you have to send in your old ones as cores?

My garage is not heated,and its -15 out side so conditions are not ideal.

I had NP with my 2003 heads either,but for some reason they decided to have all kinds of clips and plugs at the very back of the heads.

Doing the heads by myself takes a while,everytime you need another wrench you have to climb back out of the engine bay,etc.etc.
But no big deal,at least its not outside in the snow.LOL.

Im sure the passenger side head will go on with the LT installed,but the drivers side is pretty tight.
Its a new day,and Im excited about getting back out there,Ill get a few pictures as I tear it down.

Yes I have to return my old heads or loose a grand deposit.

Well finally got my motor back together,what a friggin long haul.
All I have to do is hook up my headers to my seconday pipes,and fire it up.

Without a doubt the worst POS swap I have ever done.
There is no way 1 guy can even consider trying to remove the heads with headers installed,its not going to happen.
Not that it would work anyway,but who knows.

Ill get a custom tune installed next week,and get here on a dyno and see how she does.
See if all this work is worth it.

There was an offer to help out on the table... just sayin'

Glad to hear everything is back together, now the fun part begins. I would have loved to compare the '09+ ARH headers to the '07 pair I have to see if I need to order a new set or if they'll work in the new truck. I know the ports are different, but I port matched the old ones to the eagle heads, it's just the physical tubing that I'm interested in.

Thanks for the offer.
Most of the work gets done on the weekdays when my wife and daughter are gone,it only took me 6 days so far.

I found my last header bolt is not going in straight,so Im going to give it 1 more try before I tear the header back off,hopefully I wont need to retap the threads on the header.
Time will tell.


I live in Mckenzie town,your welcome to drop by and look at the headers,they seem awful similar to my 2003 LT headers,as far as design and the way they lay.??/?
Ill post up my review of the heads tonight when I get finished and take it for a test drive,assuming I didnt miss a pushrod being seated correctly.

Its Done.Thanks God.

Truck runs great,a little surge at startup then perfect idle.
Hits the rev limiter in every gear it revs so quick.
At 100 MPH it is still pulling like crazy.
Cant wait to load a tune tomorrow and do some datalogging.
Prety Stoked so far.

Cool man... Take some vids.
