Default TFS 215's vs LS6 "243" Stock

What is typical horsepower difference between stock LS6 "243" and TFS 215 on a stock bottom end LS6 with a MS4 cam.

I want to hit 500rwhp with:

TFS 215's
ASP Underdrive Pulley
92mm FAST Intake
LT's (heat wrapped)
MS4 Cam
90mm T/B
Tuned
Varam Intake System
MSD Ignition Wires
Coolant Bypass


Do you guys think that this little power package will get near there?

you should be around 440-460 with the ls6's and maybe 470-480 with the tfs. looks like a good combo

i think you could do a little better with a different cam,your headers and exhaust will affect the hp as well.
i got one coming into the shop next week-we are trying to hit 500 with the tfs 215's and stock bottom end-my cam choice was much different-if you wait a week of 2 i can give you the results.

I hit 482 with a similar combo, my cam, through a dual disc clutch and 12 bolt 4.10. Using the TFS 215s.

We should get the one Shawn's talkin about pretty close to 500 rwhp.

430 rwhp with a cam only X1 cam? Sounds like a pretty generous dyno, what kind of times did you run? I think you could do 500rwhp on that same dyno with the setup you are talking about. Look into a custom speced cam over the ms4, there is a bit to be gained.

you kinda gotta do your reseach man. you should compare flow specs, and do alot of dyno and track number seaching.

i'll put it this way, theres quite a few guys over 500 with tfs heads, and not many with the ls6's. for sure none with stock ls6's.
