Don't be squed by the pipe on the exaust. You should have them flowed locally to see how the numbers stack up. Plus I'd like to see the exaust without the pipe for comparison. Sounds like a good deal though.

Beast, fwiw, TEA 5.3s outflow your Patriot Performance Ls6 STYLE heads on the intake AND exhaust(without a pipe)


I think he was just posting his flow #s, doesnt seem to be "squed" in anyway..... Its a well known fact TEA has one of the highest flowing exhaust ports in the LS1 industry. I think Terry will even vouch for that.....

I just got them today and the numbers are off the flow sheet that came with them. Yea, I know about the pipe, just thought I would get some feedback on them.

Ron,
What did the LS6 style exhaust port flow during your independent test?

These are also off-the-shelf heads as well. The hand finished versions flow even higher...

Those are stout #'s Mr. Squirt, now get yourself an FMS cam and go kick some ***

Alright man, seriously, I didn't ask for your lip. I said the word "squed" and "pipe" for the 900 people on here that don't know the heads are flowed with a pipe. Most come in and go,"man, awesome exaust numbers", when inturn they aren't that high. No one can really know if they have one of the highest flowing exaust ports if they have nothing else to compare it to. I in no way bad mouthed his numbers, in fact I believe I said, "sounds like a good deal". If you think that TEA's 225 cc 5.3 port is a whole lot diffrent than a 225cc LS-6 "style" port, then I don't know what to tell you. 225cc is the same volume either way you look at it. 3-4 cfm can be chalked up to flow bench variances. If you would like for me to post MY flow numbers, I will, but I hate to tell you, they are way more than the heads in question. Dig a little deeper next time.

Those are great flow numbers! They are right there with my 5.3's. Let us know how they work out for you at the track.

You might have not "asked for my lip"( BTW, are you talking to your kid or are you back in reality) but I gave you my response anyway. I dont care to compare your Stage III port to a simple stage II 5.3. I didnt bash you, your heads, or PP. I just showed a TRUE statement. I have flowed them ALL personally and I know the results.

Pipe or no pipe, TEA has one of the highest flowing exhaust ports in the country. Terry told me IN PERSON he wishes he could get his exhaust to flow like TEAs. Soooo, no need for me to " dig a lil deeper" at all now is there..... I was just making comments, dont get so defensive over your STYLISH heads next time....

The hand finished sets provide ~10 more cfm across which usually equates to another ~10-12 rwhp or so....

Sorry if I came across so defensive. Even though you may have not flat out bashed anything, you come across like some kid saying" my ball is better than yours". The problem most people have is that they consider everything in Stages. So and so's stage 1.5 may involve more work than some one elses Stage 3, but in the end, you have company 1 saying, "we did all this with a Stage 1.5 head". I believe that "stages" should be mannered in port cc. 200-210, stage 1, 210-225-stage 2, 225+-Stage 3. If you'll notice on Terry's website, there is no more work involved in the Stage 3 over the Stage 2. Just a jump in valve size. The port volume between S2 and S3 are the same. So I guess my STAGE 3 heads really aren't that much diffrent. It's all in how you look at it. Oh, BTW, I have no kids, just making a funny.

why does everyone care if they are flowed with a pipe or not. so what if it makes bigger flow numbers. isn't it better since there is going to be a pipe bolted to the head when it is in use. i think it is a good idea to get results with a pipe bolted since it is more reallistic. instead of everyone telling TEA to stop useing it, i think TEA needs to tell everyone to start useing it. also i think every one should bolt an LS6 intake before flowing heads since it would also be a more realistic picture of what is going on. just my .02 here.

That's the ticket. If everyone would use the same variable, it would be great. I would never insist that they stop using the pipe, but for comparisons sake, post numbers with and without it.
