I have 228 cam bolt ons with ss3600 auto. I wanna go with some heads. What kind of rwh will the tea/tsf 215s produce over a set of prc 5.3s?

Your comparing a hot air balloon to a airplane.... Imo. The 215's would make 15-20 ish hp over the 5.3's through the entire graph

Hell yea nasty thanks for the help. I know which is the better head but im trying to figure if I wanna spend that much on the better.
If they do indeed make 15-20rwh more everywhere then I would say thats pretty damn good. Thanks nasty.

Anyone else have an idea of what the tea/tfs would produce over the prc?

I had a stage 3 317 head from t.e.a and it made 449/419 on my ls2 and I put a 225 trickflow on it and it jumped to 468/440 and I gained 15-25 hp and 10-20 through the whole graph.... Same camshaft, exhaust, intake, etc. the trickflow heads are VERY nice and just go ahead and spend the coin... Do it once and do it right, if I had to do it again id wait till I could have afforded the tfs heads.

For the bang for the buck the PRC heads are really hard to beat.
One question I have for you is what camshaft are you running?

A really great option for you if your looking for a aftermarket head is the all new PRC aftermarket casting as cast cathedral heads. They move 320cfm range of air with all the features of the PRC aftermarket casting heads at a price that makes them a great option for guys wanting aftermarket casting performance at a nice price!!

Yes I know they are still new. TSP is pushing these heads over TF as cast alot. Yet no pricing or info. So unofficially, whats the pricing? its what every one is asking.
