Whelp Multiple broken exhaust manifold bolts in the head so they are going to have to come off.

Nice. Send them to Advanced Induction to get the special treatment (if you can handle the long downtime).

There are a few options AI being one of them. There is also TEA and Ive been reading about the prc as cast 225cc heads they look like they might be a strong budget performer? I do plan on porting My ls2 intake because $1,000+ for a fast is crazy lol

Haven't read the rest of the posts here, but tip #1 - use the search function. #2 - Just lurk around and read every post title that interests you. There's LOTS to learn here. And I can almost guarantee you that most questions you might want to ask, have been asked and answered before. Not being a snob or whatever, just giving you some help from the Forum's perspective. This place is FILLED with a ton of awesome information. There's some BS you've gotta sift through as well, but that can be said for any forum.

Got the Becker headers in today they look pretty nice for $600 shipped After I decide on a head/cam package I will install them

Brackets

I think that's the first time I've seen a cast manifold flange on headers.

Anthony Toal

They look clean for $600, hopefully the quality holds up

This build has a lot more cubes than we do but the porter obviously knows his way around 243s. Most I've seen out of those. BER is also the place that offered up their ported LS3 intake for dyno testing at Katech and showed that it hung right with a stock FAST. Pretty dang impressive. When I contacted him, the prices were nice as well. Another option for you.

I decided to go with the tfs 220 heads and custom btr cam

Impressive. In for numbers!

After weighing My options the head swap just isn't a good bang for the buck mod for Me I'm going to go cam only most likely the BTR stage 2 n/a cam

This man is correct.

Heh. You'd be surprised how efficient LS3 heads are.

I wouldn't go too large if keeping stock heads... The 2 sounds good as an option. You'll probably be around 400whp when its all said and done on a load bearing dyno/MD

I'll address the rear when it brakes I don't plan on launching this thing on slicks. I'm going to send My 243's off to AI for their 226cc cnc program and Ordered the btr stage 2 cam kit. Should be a fun car

Oh and I mocked theaters up and they fit perfect with no interference including the steering shaft.

I've ordered all the parts just waiting on them to start rolling in. TFS as cast 220's worked over By Brian Tooley racing milled to 62cc for 11.5/1 compression, BTR stage 2 cam, ls7 lifters, 7.475 pushrods and a fast 102 lsxr. Should roll out pretty well Cant wait to get this thing back together. I'll be dynoing it and taking it to the track on Halloween. I''l post up the results

Tooley Clause came to town I have everything for the build now except the heads they are still 2-3 weeks out. Oh yeah got this brand new FAST 102 lsxr off ebay for $700

Nice! I have to confess I came over the the dark(intake) side. Sadly there aren't many intakes out there with the shorter runners so no eBay deals on that for me.

Dude I got mine From is an outlet store for comp. He was asking $850. I used the best offer button and got it for $700. Just didn't come with the button head bolts for the valet cover. I figured since I'm doing heads and Cam I might as well get a,fast to to maximize the combo. Hoping to make 450-500.

I would definitely get the Becker headers if my car hadn't come with Kooks based on these pics. Seems to be a different manufacturer than OBX/Maximizer.

*Supposedly* Comp only had seven of the intakes with the mid-length runners already in them so I wasn't in a position for a lot of bargaining.
