Jeff doesn't have interweb on the weekends, so I'll try to field some of the questions.
WOW! nice times...... how many miles on your car?, and how many bottle's (est) do you think your car has gone through?
The car has around 40k miles on it. It probably has 15 to 20 bottles run through it if I had to guess. We started with a 150 shot, then a 175 shot, then 200, and finally ended up with a 250 shot. Tuning it was key....I'm pretty confident that it will last for a while like it is.
Did you get the optional nitrous port on the exaust? Posts like this let me know that my car is gunna frickin fly.
Yes, the heads on the car flow somewhere in the neighborhood(i don't have the flow sheet in front of me) of 320 on the intake and 276 on the exhaust. Yes, it was flowed on a pipe, but I've personally flowed a lot of diffent vendor's heads and can tell from the flow numbers that they are no joke. I've also flowed a set of 2.5 LS6 Absolute heads and they flowed about 5-6cfm better on the intake than the TEA's(the numbers were a pretty close other than peek)....also...the runner volume had a REALLY big difference. The TEA heads flowed around 40cfm better on the exhaust.(both heads with a pipe)
TEA is a great company and Brian Tooley is a hell of a guy. Yes the heads are expensive....but I'd say they are worth it.
Brian, t-top car and the cage is going in this winter.
HC02SS, I put the 4.10's back in the car and it's a good damn thing. Limiter is at 6900, thanks.
