This particular combo should be over 500 RWHP, so yes, the TFS 225 "LS2" is the best head for your engine. TFS actually designed this head for an LS2, they are working on a bigger port for 402-408 engines, but they won't know if it will make more power till they get it tested.

Read my post and Tooley's quote again and you might figure out what I was asking for.

They are contacting the customers.
These heads cannot be used with the stock rockers. rollers have to be used or the rebuilt Harland Sharp stock rockers (EDIT)will not work i have been told
I am just heading out to the garage right now to tear it down and see whats up. I put about 1200 miles on the car so far with the stock rockers hope there is no damage to the valves we will see.
Brian called me last night and was very helpful and said my new rockers will be here tomorrow ups overnight.
nothing wrong with the heads

Got the phone call too, but my motor isnt even here yet. SO, i think its pretty cool that they found the problem and are fixing it ASAP. I dont even think its a problem, from what i understand, there was ONE set of heads with stock rockers on it that messed up a valve tip.. could have been an instilation problem for all I know.. but in order to play it safe until they know 100% for sure what the problem was, they are doing this to take care of us until they do know..
