Default TSP stg 2.5 5.3L heads OR PRC LS6 stg 1 Heads for my LS1 Vette???

Which would be better WITHOUT having to do any flycutting, I will be going with a TSP 233/239 cam, help me out.

that cam is fairly large.....I am about 99% sure you are safe w/ the stage 1 Ls6 heads. I would say thats gonna be real close on the truck heads, probably would want to flycut to be on the safe side.

Not 100% sure but I think TSP sinks the valve so you can run those 5.3 stg 2.5s w/o flycutting. Maybe someone who knows will chime in!

why not just call TSP and ask them if their heads will work with their cam.

Send a note to Jason at TSP. Very helpful... The 243's will have better PTV clearance.

I been thinking just like you and I did call TSP and they said if you want to run the truck heads you have to flycut the pistons becasue the truck heads have a smaller CC and have bigger valves than the LS6 heads. The LS6 heads would be the safest route if you want that cam , other than that the truck heads are a better head than the LS6 heads becasuse they give you more compression 10:75:1 , have bigger valves and flow a better.



Quick Reply: TSP stg 2.5 5.3L heads OR PRC LS6 stg 1 Heads for my LS1 Vette???
