How much power do you want? The LE2 heads outflow the TFS heads out of the box and you are going to lose a LOT of compression if you go to TFS heads on the stock bottom end.

just depends on what you want to do, how much you want to spend, and future mods
like bret said, most ported stock heads are going to out flow the stock casting trick flow.
ported heads are going to be the best bang for the buck.

now if you want to spend some money, and have room to grow for later mods get some trick flows and have them ported. there getting some great numbers out of those, but its going to cost ya.

3rd option would be stock trick flows. not going to be the best option for heads and cam, but gives you plenty of room to grow for later.

How is it that people read about the Trickflows but manage to ignore Trickflows own recommendations for their use which details strokers and boost?

people just dont know. the avg. joe reads the details about the heads going on a stroked or boosted engine, and they assume it means the heads flow really well and make lots of power.
their not thinking about compression or other stuff....

I was all excited about them till I saw that on there website. Don't feel like building a stroker...

Go with the LE2 if you don't want to go stroker...
