I like mine. :-) mods similar to yours except MTI G1 cam, no pully, and SLP 2OTL exhaust. Numbers in sig.

Mine seem to work great. TONS more power than before heads/cam.

220/224 cam, pretty small, but, the car feels just like stock under 1500 rpms (power wise), and anywhere above that, it screams.

WOW, I trap 111 with only full exhaust and a lid. Something isn't right here....

With my auto, I gained 31hp, 41 lbft tq before any tuning. That was with a 224 cam, LS6 intake, and headers....through a 3500 stall unlocked.

TEA are decent!

I Like them very well too. I picked up 61 hp/ and 55ftlbs with only a 222/222 cam. # in sig. Having 350ft lbs at 2600rpm its a pleasure to drive My car always dyno'd low in the Hp department, but I wont know if what I did with the exhaust worked until spring. Later John

Wow, 31rwhp with 224 cam, LS6 intake and headers! What's that 10rwhp gain from the heads? Something doesn't seem right. You should gain 25rwhp from the cam alone.....right?

I am about to put on an old set of TEA 1.5s and I'm hoping for big results with this set up. My heads are at TEA right now getting checked out and ready to go on.
They flowwed like 295 cfm @ .600. And I'm not sure about the rest of the flow #'s. I will have the sheet when they come back.
I'm using these with a G5x2 spec cam. I'm hoping for 450 to 460 HP.

I think my TEA 1.5 heads are great. With a TR224 cam the car ran low 11s @ 120.xx and a few high 10s. It was a consistent 11.1x performer.
With a 230/230 cam the car has run a best of 10.91 @ 122.xx with a race weight of ~3380.
I do not think you can go wrong with TEA heads.
