Default RWHP from adding stock 243 heads

2001 Z28, lid, !MAF, HP Tuners SD tune, P&P TB, stock LS6 intake, stock 241 heads, 212/218 .522/.529 114 cam, stock exhaust manifolds, TOTL catback, Yank SS3200.

Car runs great, what will $600 for stock 243's get me in RWHP? What about RWHP for $995 for the P&P 243's?

I have the hotcam and when I went to 243s from 241s I gained 12rwhp and 26rwtq. Not too bad i think. I got the 243s from Patriot for 420 shipped.

420 for stock LS6's
250 for dual springs

670 for OEM LS6's ready to go

might as well spend another 330$ and get another 15-20hp out of them by buying them from TSP if your gonna go through the hassle of a head swap...

Anyone change from 853's to 243's? I'm thinking of throwing a set on with a T rex cam and an LS6 intake in my RX7.

TX01Z what kind of hp are you making and what times are you running with that combo? I am interested in that cam you are running. My car is pretty much stock (99z) but is a 6 speed. I would like to change my cam.

99ZConv I have not dynoed the car or run the 1/4 mile. But I should . .

Gunnar, that's a great deal on stock 243 heads. What are the intake runner cc sizes and potential RWHP gains from both the stock and ported 243 heads you offer for my setup?
