Your about to get a whole bunch of people that say the T-Rex was designed for stock heads and wont perform well with aftermarket ones

Performed great for my little Forged 348ci. Managed 453rwhp on 93 octane with only 500 miles on the new motor, on a Superflow dyno. I have the TREX V2 and a set of older Lingenfelter heads I got for $150 bucks off a user on here. They are 853 castings, CNC ported and milled quite a lot. According to LPE, when these heads were ported back in 2000, they flowed 289 cfm at .600 lift, which was really good back then, but by standards today, a little low. Any set of CNC heads that flow around or over 300 cfm will make you some very nice numbers with the TREX. It is ground to be a max effort cam for stock heads, but works just as good or better with ported heads than any other cam out on the market.
