Default TEA 5.3 l STAGE III's with 228/228 588/588??????

Just wanted to know a little about these heads my buddy is selling them for a good price and I might buy them off him for my 01 ws6. I already have a 228/228 588/588 112 cam. just wondering if these would make good power together and if its a ok combo for a daily driver? Thanks.

I would say that it would work well together... guy around here had TEA 5.3 1.5's w/ a 224 cam and made 435 rwhp in a 6 speed.

I would check with TEA, usually stage 3 heads are designed for bigger cubes.

...and 4" bores. Not saying they won't work but I'd surely give TEA a call and get the final word. It probably depends on how large of an intake valve is in the heads.

I would say since they are 5.3 heads that he would be good to go... here is what TEA had to say about these heads.

LS1 Stage 3
Flow Data
LS1 5.3 Stage 3
Lift Intake Exhaust
.100" 67.4 55.1
.200" 143.2 115.3
.300" 211.3 157
.400" 257.3 200.6
.500" 299.1 255.7
.550" 315.2 268.3
.600" 326.5 276
.650" 328.3


Specs, Notes:


Package includes:
Full CNC poring of Intake,exhaust and Combustion chamber
to 225 cc intake runner volume, competiton multi angle valve job,
installation of larger intake and exhaust seats,with hand finishing.
Built on brand new 5.3 castings (included in price)
Ferrea 2.055 intake valves, Rev 1.57 exhaust valves
63cc Combustion Chamber (can be milled smaller)
Asssembled with dual gold .650" lift hydraulic roller springs,
titanium retainers,and gm seals.
Flow sheet with intake and exhaust included.
This head is designed for use on 3.900" bore motors
and flows great. It WILL require flycutting of pistons
for valve reliefs with camshafts over 226*@.050".

Will make best power with a lsx 90 intake and 1 3/4" or
larger headers. We have customer's who have made well over
450RWHP using this head on stock 5.7's!

Depends on how far you want to spin it... if the motor is out of the car then I would go ahead and do it. Other wise there are plenty of people on this board that spin theirs to 7k with out a problem.
