Love mine. Opened them to a 4 inch bore and they work great on the 402. Tons of low end torque and still make big power up top. 225's would've been a better hp maker, but I would've lost low end in the process. Truly best of both worlds.

Vengeance Racing custom cam 239/243 .623/.623 113+3 Someone on here ran a damn near identical cam in a 346 and made sick power. BTW the extra cubes and Mikes awesome tuning made my baby idle and drive like stock.

To the op, bottom line call Ron@Vengeance and talk to him about your build. You will get all the best info you can ask for about TFS 215's. Give him your goals and he'll point you in the right direction.

Ron sold me on my tfs 215s vs running the 235s. He didn't just say take my word for it, he cited numerous past builds. To say the least Rons advice was dead on and helped me to reach all my goals. He can do the same for you.

Yeah? Because I am curious what the fps is over the short turn as well as the CSA there. Think he can answer that for me? Or give me some valve job angles?

Well buy a set from and share your test results ok.

What a stupid post you made. Probably like to have that 15 seconds of your life back wouldn't you.

If you are going to quote me I'd appreciate you not taking my comments out of context. Quote it all so it isn't skewed to help you with your non sense point.

Stupid because you don't understand it? Or because you have money to throw at an engine but no knowledge about how it works? I was wondering if Ron knew these things if I called him. No need to get bent out of shape because I questioned the shop you currently nutswing from. First LG, now Vengeance, how long for the next one?

These are important things that relate to how to cam the engine and to see if I want to make any changes. If I decide to "buy" a set to play with, I can get it cheaper than Vengeance is selling them anyway. It's good to have friends that are Trick flow dealers. Yes, they are primarily Ford guys, but dealers none the less..

Wow another nutswing comment. I'm sure Ron could more then answer your question. Call him up and find out. Money to throw away, ugh not really. LOL. I just prefer to have someone else do it so if its not right it falls on them vs on me. As far as working on cars go, my 250K 93 gran prix is running strong and I've performed nearly all the repairs. Recently redid the brakes and suspension. Hopefully I don't have to do anything else for a long time. Stock suspension lasted 132K, replacement lasted 118, so I hope to get at least 100k out of this newest round. Car stops like no ones business too. Pads, rotors, and new rear calipers. Getting ready to pull a blown 3.8 from my 99 gt. Wish me luck. Will be swapping cranks, new rod and crank bearings. Will have some help doing this one though. Again wish me luck, it will be a learning adventure.

Congrats to you on your vast mechanical knowledge. Would you like to give me a hand with the 3.8 ? Maybe we can get her to make some more power while she's apart.

I have lots of experience with the 3.8 engine. I started on a Grand National. My parents have had 2 LeSabres, 1 Park Avenue, and a Pontiac Bonneville. My Grandparents have a LaCrosse. We all help each other work on our own cars. If you get stuck on something you can PM me.

No need to question another's building abilities to inflate another's. The LC2 engine is a power house. And where do you think the engineers got a lot of ideas for the Ls platform? They are Going to vary for any given rpm, lobe lift, intake runner design, valve size and displacement. Plus how effeciennt the exhaust system works for given rpm. Better yet why not talk to TEA/TF? didn't Tony mamo. Publish head performance data? Such as this.just saying or asking if you can further inform us about your findings? I deal with hydraulic calculations on fluid dynamics and performance and would like to learn how you get yourfigures. If Its cool?
