Just set the rings up with more gap to handle the boost level.

We've had great luck with LT4 factory blocks with cams making great power.
Now my issue is heads.
1. LT4 heads with ICT intake plates to use my plastic lt1 manifold. Will this cause issues?
2. LT1 heads off Ebay. Then buy $1200 manley intake and exhaust valves.
laynlo why did you stick with lt1 heads instead of lt4? LT4 heads are around $600 more, plus $200 plates.
Im leaning more and more toward lt1 heads. Im not looking to set the world on fire here. The lt1 heads and upgraded valves should be more than fine for ~850 wheel.
