well i was just informed tonight that heads where ordered for my car.

here is the dilemia he ordered PRC stage 3 heads because he thought i was on a somewhat budget.

well i got my motor built for the spray and i do not think a stock casting head will hold up well

i wanted to know what you think cancel the order and get 225 et heads afr or trick flows. i just want this thing built one time and not beeing replacing shit all the time

how much power are you lookin at pushin? i seen guys on ls1tech make well over 550whp on stock heads with spray shots on stock Ls1’s with cam only.

plenty of LS6 cars with blowers having upwards of 600-700hp on stock castin heads. i thought those castings were strong enough

Hmmmm…mebbe not.

Looks like the Trick Flows and the L92’s both out-flow the AFR’s.

My bad…surprising though, AFR’s are usually the best flowing heads.

T.E.A. ported trickflows. Call and ask for Brian Tooley, He will hook you up.  
If you get the CNC ported trickflows they are done by T.E.A. but if you contact T.E.A. directly you can usually get some custom stuff for your application for the same price.  
Maybe I should not have let that out of the bag…LOL

Call Brian Tooley at Tea for a set of trickflow 225s he is hard to get a hold of sometimes but talk to him not one of the sales guys. Tell him what you are doing have as much info as you can for him, ie bore, stroke, piston dish in ccs, how much in/out of the hole, cam, ect so he can taylor the chamber port work to your need. I just put a set on my 402 awsome head, when you put it next to a stock casting it is incredible how much beefier it is. Some things you need to know about the head, you can not run stock rockers, he will supply you the harland sharps at a good price, the heads have a 13 degree valve angle which means you have to run a longer then stock push rod. 7.50’s worked on mine, this also allows you more piston to vavle clearance due to the vavle angle. There is no clearance issues with the rockers on these heads, and I had no problems anywhere else. Fired mine up yesterday for the first time and it is a strong bitch.
