Default TEA & Absolute Speed head cars-Lets see your ET's

I want to get a idea which head is producing the best bang for the buck!

If anyone has et's on the TEA stage 1.5's please post those. If you have TEA stage 2's they will work also, but i want to see some absolute speed stage 2 head numbers also <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

11.37 at 122 so far. I'm in the process of upgrading to Kooks headers, and I just fixed my clutch issues, so I'm guessing an 11.1X is in my future.

I have my eye on a set of TEA heads. It looks like the heads shaved some Et off,how much exactly? I also see you picked up 31 rwhp?

The dyno number in sig is with a Moser 9 inch, which cost me about 20rwhp.

I'd go with the 224/.581 and take advantage of the higher lift. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> I mean, look at the TEA head flow numbers, at .581, their flow is still rising. Might as well use it to your advantage! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I dont even think I have seen ANYONE with Absolute's stuff post about ET's.

TEA's are PROVEN, stop asking questions and go with TEA's <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

My bolt on only had a best of 11.62/115.

I added a TR 224/112 and Jays 5.7 Ab.Speed heads and ran 11.04/121.Easy 10s if the DA was the same as my bolt on runs,also hit the 1-2 and 2-3 shift rev limiter.

Stepping up to Jays 6.0L heads,LG G5X2 cam,Speed Inc.Stage 3 trans and Moser 12 bolt.
