TR224 with heads inside, need advice
Which heads with the TR224/ 112 lSA? (AS, PP, etc.) It's an 02 WS6 M6 with tr224, lt's, 12 bolt 4.11's, and bolt ons. I was thinking about some S2 5.3's. What kind of #'s are you putting down with this set up? Thanks for the advice in advance.

IF the dyno is run properly and the numbers are correct, it is a great indicator of the power you put down and the potential your car has. Also, peak numbers are not as important as a nice power curve. You need to see the whole picture. I run stock heads but am considering 5.3 S2 heads from Absolute speed even though they don't respond to emails quickly. From the numbers and times, I have seen they are the best bang for the buck as far as heads go. Just my opinion but I've heard a lot of horror stories about Patriot and I know two guys that ran TEA S2 heads with minimal improvemnet. I am not trying to bash so don't me hating.

we have some customers running our "stage 1" heads and similar cams making 410-420rwhp in manual trans cars (with most of the major bolt on also)

If you do a search on JFM's car, he ran an 11.04 w/ Absolute Speed heads and a th224 cam, this was almost 2 years ago, Jays new CNC port flows alot better then the heads JFM used back then. Give Jay a call. He'll take care of you.
