Bad heads? Tr230 results

Now,all cars are different.I really hate 98's and never seen one hit over 390rwhp Cam only on our dyno -never!! This is even with the big,bad *** cams.So thats just us.
It's obvious the heads are no good.The home porting probly killed them.

I have offered luke a set of 241's but he says he's gonna wait now until he can afford a new set of 5.3 heads from tsp and a standard split cam maybe a ms3. I just finished a car today with a 228r and tsp 5.3 stage 2.5's luke seemed pretty impressed as he gave me a hand with the car.
And also slowhawk there are no good tuners around here thats why I started tuning myself from what I've learned just from my own cars. I do alright business so far I'm looking forward to expanding in the future. But as with everything everyday you learn a little more.
I'm only 10rwhp behind you and 6rwtq more than you.
I only have just boltons (not even all of them). I'd look into other issues not just the heads. There not as bad as people think.
Good luck!

I want to see the difference in hp. Then I will go with a standard split like Mike said. I've learned you really can't compare dyno numbers....our mustang dyno at school is the lowest reading dyno i've ever seen. On a 402 Z28 our dyno read 380 LOL, on someone elses it put down 460, on a ported blower 03 cobra ours = 390, someone elses was 480rwhp or something, in a friends H/C/I 5.0, our dyno read 237, somewhere else was like 290...
Just find someone with a similar set-up and race. I don't give a **** what my car puts down, as long as i'm ahead of cars with similar set-ups.

My car ran a lot harder than that with stock heads and junk flowtech headers when I was cam only...try again.Marty

You badmouth a cam that repeatedly makes in the range of 400RWHP yet you can do better without it? Hardly.
my numbers before a decent tune were 400/382 about. I never dynoed on the N20, but id definitely guess over 500 now that i have a tune and a 100 shot. she pulls like a madman after 3k 
I agree with Mr.MartyStone, the TR230 is a piece of crap. I only ran a best et of 11.2 and best mph of 123.5 on stock 241 heads @3500lbs with that cam. I hated it so much I put it in my stock LS6 motor to try for 10s. Also, f*3k a dyno, I made 413rwhp running those times. Dynos are great for tuning and gauging your own advancement, but racing dyno numbers is futile. Take it to the track.
