Also I currently have Hedman Headers and want some better ones.
should i buy 1 3/4 or 1 7/8. (or maybe keep Hedman Headers and go with TEA stage 3 with the saved $$$)

THIS IS ALL GOING ON A STOCK BOTTOM END LS1 CAMARO

I dont know about the TEA but I hear nothing but good things about those heads.

But The TORQUER V3 With TSP 2.5 5.3L Heads is proven combo and the heads are awesome and were desined for MS3 and V3.

If your running stock bottom end and not planning to go big CI in the futuer then Buy 1.3/4 (Go with ARH or QTP They are the best)

I believe TEA Stg3 heads will be too big for 346ci Motor.

Hope that helped.

i recently bought some tea stage 2 5.3 heads because from what i have seen they tend to have better results at the track. Research and you will see there are quite a few people running small cams with tea 5.3 heads and are running 10's on motor. I even know of a guy that lives near me that is running tea stage 1.5 5.3 heads and a 224 cam and is running 10.7's on motor. Of course he has quite a bit of reduced weight but still that is very impressive.

Is flycutting required with that setup (V3 & TSP 2.5)?
