TEA Stage 3 6.0 heads. Local flow numbers Well as many of you know I enjoy playing with heads from time to time. Finially put my 10th set of personal heads on the bench to see what kind of numbers they would make on a local bench.
Clay radius, 28* of water, JMK bench which has read lower then every advertisied numbers by a good margine and in my oponion is stingy.
No pipe was used on the exhaust..... Sorry.
TEA's nuimbers 4.030 bore................. Local numbers. 4" bore
Lift--Intake---Exhaust----------Intake---Exhaust
100-- 71.3--54.1-------------- 76.18--55.21
200-- 146.6--119.6------------ 144.43---101.62
300-- 216.4--178.5------------ 202.73---141.69
400-- 271.1--228.3------------ 254.90---188.80
500-- 306.4--259.2------------ 292.39---218.00
550-- 321.3--268.5------------ -----------------
600- - 331.1--274.6- ----------- 320.31--231.23
700 ------------------------------ 309.45--231.23
I also had these flowed on a 4.125 bore even though they were set up as a 4.030 bore. As you can see the numbers from TEA are on a 4.030 bore, then is the 4" bore locally and now here are the 4.125" bore numbers.
Lift---Intake---Exhaust 4.125 bore LOCAL BENCH
100---80.54----57.57
200---146.78---106.78
300---210.84---150.37
400---261.52---188.98
500---309.45---218.21
550---------------------
600---325.61---231.45
700---310.55---237.80
Needless to say I was very impressed with the numbers.
These were the highest flowing heads I have seen to date and were very close to the advertisied numbers from TEA in compairision to what other heads have done. The exhaust numbers are HUGE with no pipe and I haven't had a set go over 220 yet with no pipe.
2.08 intake valve, 1.60 exhaust valve. LQ9 heads.
These are not for stock cubic inch guys but if your in the market for heads for the 402/408/422/427 etc combo these would make a nice choice.

Very good numbers at 5 and 6. It's pretty obvious that TEA has biased the valve job for more high lift flow and sacrificing some low and mid-range flow. Probably sells more cylinder heads that way (peak numbers are very seductive). Good results. Hope to see dyno numbers in the near future. Well done.

i want them. how much do you guys think it would cost to have TEA re-work my patriot ls-6 stg 3 heads? they only flow 307 at .600.
anyone have any experience w/ this???

You would be better off calling Mike at TEA and asking him.
You should already have good valve's, springs, valve seals, retainers, etc so it might not cost to much to clean them up, do a new valve job, and some hand finishing.

+17 cfm @ .500" lift between 4.00" and 4.125" bores 
Sounds like they got the 4.125" chamber cut on them instead of the 4.000"
That intake port program flows even better on a LS2/LS6 head, which works out great if you already have a set. Hope you enjoy the heads and make killer power!!
We are trying to get the basic "package" of CNC porting, parts and other labor in the $1700 range with a new program that requires less time. So if someone has a set of 6.0 or LS2/LS6 heads they should be able to make more power then most of the aftermarket heads with less $$$$

Here are the flow numbers of the stage3 6.0L heads I got in January from FFHP that were supposedly cnc'd at TEA in December from what I was told. Not sure about that, it was a soap opera from last winter. Tell me what yall think.
Lift----Intake---Exhaust
.100 72 51
.200 139 108
.300 204 168
.400 266 209
.500 301 235
.550 313 242
.600 317 245
.650 319 249
Since they are set up for 4.125 bore I assume that's what they were flowed on. Looks okay, especially exhaust, except that it seems to almost peak out at .550. Not good considering I have .635 lift. Don't look like TEA numbers to me. The motor won't be fired up till I get back from deployment next month. Thinking about ordering a different set before I return. Thoughts? Maybe I should just run a low lift Hotcam

I thought the difference at .0500 was weird considering that is the only place where you see the huge increase. All the other area's were more normal.
1700 is dirt cheep.
Again thanks for the heads Brian/Brent and now Mike, and keep doing what you guys do best.

Thanks for posting that up JZ. I guess this is what you're getting for me on those AS heads, huh? I can't wait to see what some real power feels like once I get the 408 done.
