they wont stall with the intake in place from what I have found.

any heads that go on as time passes will show better results than what his current heads did at time of install. cause the rings will have seated more. I think most of his problems are from poor ring seal not poor heads.also I would suspect his exhaust and headers as power hurters.

here we go its got bad rings, his plugs were installed wrong, his timing is off, his headers are wrong, his gas pedal wasnt adjusted to perfection, did i miss any excusses?

H82BBad

you would suspect the heads over ring seal on a new engine? that just doesn't make any sense to me.For your sake I hope it stops raining there soon.So you can get some new times. Sounds like you losing it. Having the slowest heads and cam power adder car in the country sucks I bet.

I have seen people pick up 15-20 rwhp with other headers over slp's. It seems to me you would be dissing on the JPR threads instead of the TEA heads threads though,after all JPR heads must have been what was wrong with your car before

I'll just say this once......YOU HAVE THE WRONG CAM FOR THOSE HEADS. PERIOD. TOTAL ENGINE AIRFLOW HEADS NEED A REVERSE SPLIT Verbs and others have shown that the TEA heads like a reverse split cam, not a conventional split. Heck I am just trying a conventional split to see what it does on the dyno, I am already debating about going to a 238/232 reverse split because the exhaust side of these heads flow so well WITH and WITHOUT a pipe.

listen boy, get your slow car to the track and lets see these 10 sec. passes. 10.74 well over a year ago is slow?? are you that stupid, come on now. the car is 3800 lbs thats 4 tenths that im loosing by getting it down to your weight. so lets see that would have amde my car go around 11.40s detonating from running lean. yeah my car was screwed up when it ran the 10.74 but i still have the fastest stock cube ls1 vorteched car that i know of.

well is it raining by you? get your car out there and stop talking trash

H82BBad

BOY? haha I say we race
Mine is apart right now Getting an engine rebuild and a small shot put on.
10.74 is the fastest supercharged 346 in the country? wow I thought superchargers made you fast Glad I am going the nitrous route

send me a pm we can set something up for a track meeting I am sure. I can travel.

Vince that is a retarded theory. So the extra hours spent from 5 pm to 9 pm to get the car from 390 to 396 were just for show???
I'll give you a clue.... we don't make overtime.

We have countless hours tuning LS1 packages and have many combinations (many of which aren't are our own) over 415 HP. I feel that our tuning is some of the best in the business. Marco's car started at 369 HP. A 27 HP gain from tuning I would say is pretty substantial

Krazy. It is a brand new motor, and your car has been down for a long time. Enjoy the car for some time, let the rings seat, break the motor in, THEN lets see what kind of power it puts down.

honestly i wish i had gone the NOS route. good luck getting your car together BOY. and wait till my NEW setup hits the track and try picking on it then. seems like the only edge you have is picking on my old setup that had tuning and lean issues.

No problem I should be ready in the next month.

http://www.blackls1ta.com/boosted_list.htm hmm seems like my cars not too slow after all. i'd be 3rd fastest fi car

H82BBad

not bad only 22 power adder 346 cars faster than you on this board.

marco enjoy your car and let it break in and then redyno it with the TB and pulley

the track times and you being happy is what is important

Kevin that was mean.. If you guys put your all into it then you put your allinto it.. From my experience I do not see this as the norm. I did not pick up anything when my engine broke in.. I personally think it is just the combo. Whether the wrong headers or he needs more bolt ons. Phil I have a conventional split and it works fine and it dyno'd higher than my old reverse split. My old reverse split was a 232/226 lsa 110 and my current cam is a 232/236 lsa 114. I think even with my current tune my dyno #'s are pretty stout..

If the port is the same as what I have the heads will stall at .500 lift with the LS6 intake in place not .550

Stalling isn't always fatal depends on how bad it is etc sometimes the momentum of the air can actually keep the flow alive in a real running engine verse on the flow bench.

All this bashing is so lame, seems to always come from one corner of the country

Which corner is that?

after reading this thread and the flowbench thread. I take back what I said about tea lying about there flows, I understand there flow bench reads a good 20+ cfm higher than newer superflow benches other people use. Tea is just advetising what there bench reads and is not trying to false lead anyone.

Krazy- sorry about your thread and your low dyno, maybe there is something wrong with something else but I dont think so, there are just so many threads popping up with low dyno's and they seem to have tea heads, but thats the way I add things up, I didnt know that they must have the wrong headers, cams, poor piston seal, slipping trans and clutches so on

and if anyone is bashing it is the tea pushers bashing esp saying they didnt put there all in the tune. thats just wrong. It sounds like they did the best with what they had to deal with
maybe another sponsor will put up there heads against what you already have, run the car for a few miles so there will be no one saying {the rings have to seal} even though you probably wont pick up anyhting then swap them out with a competitor. I would make some phone calls

Are they TEA Stage 2s or TEA Stage 1.5?

Vince shoot me a PM please when you get a chance. I have some news for you

Your right. That was out of line. I apologize.

Glad to hear your joining the FI club, and a smart decision about not mix-n-matching parts.

Good Luck
