TSP 5.3L Stage 2.5 heads results inside
My '02 vette LS1 MN6 with Kooks LT's, hi-flow cats, Corsa cat back, Halltech stinger intake and MTI X1 cam made 384rwhp.
Added TSP heads, .040 cometic gaskets for 11.18:1 SCR and 8.55:1 DCR. Also added Shanner ported TB and ASP UD pulley. Before and after results below.
Here is a video of the run. Right click & save to target

your numbers does seem alittle low but not severely low. the ported tb,ud pulley and .040 gaskets ware probably good for alittle over 15 rw in reality so the heads were good for 20-25.i would think you are around 10 hp shy of where you should be.remember the ls6 intake might be hurting you more than before.

The numbers don't look bad, but I would have expected a little more especially since you also add the TB, pulley and thinner gaskets at the same time. I would think your combo would be good for another 10-15 hp.

Thanks, after checking out some other X1 head combo results with more expensive heads it looks like I'm doing pretty good. Also, there is probably a some more in it as we only had time for a rough re-tune and two pulls.
