Default 500rwhp goal!!

Current mods are
Ls2, tea stage 3 317's, 230/238 .600/.604 112+2, fast 102, stainless works 1 3/4 longtubes, 3 1/2 inch cutout and its a 6 speed tuned via speed density. My question is... If I bought some T.E.A. TFS 225's and a 240ish camshaft could I hit my 500hp goal. Im at 463 now and I want more! but could my ls2 do it or am I going to have to build something bigger.

imo, dont spend extra money on new heads and cam when the set you have is already good, spend it on making the car faster some other way... like a nitrous kit

just throw a 100 shot on it and all of your hp problems will be solved!

AFR's V2 230cc heads, send your FAST intake to Tony Mamo @ AFR for porting, and a custom spec'd cam from Patrick G or Tony. Pat achieved this in his 6.0 in his G8 with these heads and a good streetable cam. You should gain alittle better throttle response and driveablility too.

I don't think going from a 230/238 to a 24x/24x is going to net that much of a gain unless it was in the higher 240's. I think milling the heads some, going to 1 7/8 headers and having the fast ported would yield noticable gains.

That's exactly what I'd do. Most likely, you could reach 500rwhp with the cam you have if you have the Mamo ported top end. Remember to reduce inlet restriction as much as possible. Free flowing air box, huge MAF (or no MAF), big TB.

I was thinking the t.e.a. Tfs 225's or the mamofied 230 V2 heads.. Unsure which would be worth more over the other.

Can't go wrong with either head, perhaps the 13 deg. valve angle of the TFs
might give more piston to valve clearance if you decide on a bigger cam

I dont think your issue is the heads. TEA is one of the best porters in the industry, have you contacted them about specking a cam better suited for those heads. And is your HP number more important than actual performance? The Mamo option is a great one if funds are not an issue, but if they are I would look at making sure exhaust is optimal, then look at cam then look at adding a fast to your combo. just my .02

since the heads are shaved the cam I have now is about as big as I can go without flycutting and the car already has a fast 102 installed on it. Exhaust is 1 3/4 stainless works into a 3'y pipe that merges into a 3 1/2 inch pipe and them into a 3 1/2 cutout

I think if he attacks the top half of the motor and keeps the cam he has-he will do it or be very very close.
