Got Torque? Rapid H/C package results... Just finished up a 98 Camaro. TFS 215 heads, new first time tried cam lobe profile (230/234/114), ARH headers with CATS, Magnaflow CB, Rapid ported FAST 90, Rapid tuned. Torque is amazing...

Those are nice numbers for such a "small" cam 
I never understood why people choose to go with such small runner volume just because its a 346. Are we really buying into the whole "velocity over volume" talk? Only reason why I bring it up is because all the high HP H/C cars I have seen, including my own did not fallow that rule.

You can still get great power out of a decent 205 head though, it's just easier in a 11* 215.

A small runner was chosen before these 11* heads came out. Before you would have to sacrifice power under the curve to get big number's up top. These heads along w/ ETP's are the best of both worlds. A great option for a street/track car.

Greater port volume with a larger cam and a big bump in compression will always run quicker at the track. However, most (90%) of my customers don't race or run just for fun and want a package with good street manors. If I am building a car to run more on the track than the street, this is not what I would have chosen.
Patrick is right, the TFS heads are fantastic and don't require a huge runner. They flow well where it matters

What do yeah know I guess they are 13.5* heads. I thought they were basically the same as the ETP's all along. I see they are a 220 runner as well.
