Default Just a thought for the gearheads (engine change up)

This is just a thought. I will max out my combo first then step up bigger. I have an 01 f body and it has p&p 241 heads and a comp custom grind. I will post up specs further down. Here is my question, will I benefit from a set of TFS 215's and one of the G5X.. from LG or one of the VRX grinds from Vengeance and by how much? What would you reccomend? The car is an auto car with 3.73 in the rear. It has gone 11.85 with a 1.70 60 ft and it was spinning in the first 20 feet. This was on motor. Here are the specs.

2 146/111
.3 201/146
.4 251/182
.5 291/203
.6 301/219
.65 304/223

stock valves, milled only to clean up surface
.030 Cometic gaskets for tight quench

230/240 .613/.608valve lift .361/.358 lobe lift 111LSA Comp Cam

not sure how worth it would be for the cost....nearly $3000 by the time you get the rockers.
and your cam is plenty big.

that's alot of money and work for 15hp

might be better off with a FAST intake for the setup.

Thats the next step for this combo. I don't think there is much else I can do past that point but go bigger which is what I plan on doing. I plan on hitting it with a 200 shot and see what it will do.

don't spend $2,000 - $3,000 for mayyybe 10-20RWHP

you might bust the motor and take out that new big $$$ top end

92/92 ported from Ragin Racin $1400 for a solid 20 RWHP and you can transfer it to the next engine
