Need heads for my set up
What is a good set of street heads to run with my TR220 / 114? Note I've got an M6 and SLP LT's /w cats. Other mods in the sig.
My car is a street car so maximizing midrange torque is much more important to me than, big HP numbers. I'd rather show you my tail lights than show you dyno sheet if you know what I mean.
I'm thinking about the TEA 1.25's or the AS stage 1.5 heads. Would the 5.7's or 5.3's be better?

IMO 5.3 but now there is AFR's appearing on the scene.
For a "small" cam like TR220, no need for gigantic ports. Just good flow and velocity and a little bump in CR doesn't hurt.

I just got AS Stg2 5.3L's with 11 to 1 CR dual 978's. I'm running an old man's cm CC 216/220 .525/.532. Eventually I will be going to a TR 224 .563 on a 112 LSA. Give Jay a call 1.516.987.9392. TEA's are the other option but I would look at the 1.5's.

Is there a range of flow rates or port volumes I should be looking at?
