You also may want to look at the TEA stage 3 Trick Flow casting 200cc heads. http://www.totalengineairflow.com/pr.../gmhead/gmlt1/

How so? They can be milled to 56cc!

Most the time it's not worth it due to alignment issues with the intake and other associated problems. Get the AI heads.

He could mill the heads .060" without a intake fitting problem. The Trick Flow castings are 64 cc from the factory. For every .006" milled that equals 1 cc removed. That is why TEA probably doesn't advertise below 56 cc cumbution chambers. I would contact TEA and talk to them about the possible misfitting of the intake. I would personally try to get a thicker deck surface from the Trick Flows. Which ever way that 95FbFormula goes he will get a quality cylinder head port design.

I think the 200CC AI heads are the right way to go but if you want to consider the Trickflows AI handles them too.

Far as the guys claiming a .060 cut before intake problems I think they are calling actual problems bolting things together as the point of "problems" begining but reality is there will be missalignment before that.

The AI 200cc heads are showing GREAT results on 355s so no worries.

i saw a video of a solid roller with the AI 200 heads and that thing layed down 480 at the wheels. granted the solid roller and a few other things are different, but that was the most impressive setup on stock heads i've ever seen. the video is in the thread where everyone is posting there favorite videos....freakin sweet. if i hadn't already bought my AFRs, they would have been the guys that would have gotten my business.

Yes i will probably go with the AI 200cc since i have the correct casting of heads the the price is good. I am looking for atleast 420 out of my 355 I was thinking of AI 200cc heads and a BRE cam but I still have some research to do.
THX for the input guys

Why not get an AI cam that's designed for the heads? Are they not very good at designing cams or what?

95FbFormula

iTrader: (25)

Actually i will probably get the AI cam with the heads forgot to add that in the last post, but I am undecided yet I have to ask around to see what can be made for my set-up and how I want it. I am sure AI makes awesome cams I am just still searching through the forum on information. Either way I will not be disappointed.

I doubt you will. AFAIK, they both use comp grinds just spec'd differently.

SS Aleks

AI cams are not ground by comp unless you specifically ask for it.
AI cams are 8620 induction hardened billet steel, many other cams are much lower quality cast core cams.

RealQuick

iTrader: (14)

For $30 more, comp cam can make billet cams... anyone that specs cams for people should mention that option.

SS Aleks

Here is the difference

Ai will sell you any of the popular comp cams for $250.

iTrader: (25)

Yes I will probably go with AI for both cam and heads just to keep everything in order just hoping to hit my goal of 420 at the wheels out of my 355 build.
