Finally got my BOOST heads pics. TEA Trick Flow 235's, bronze seats,inconel valves, .700lift springs, 63cc chambers,..etc
Going with my twin precision 67's, new LS2 block w stock crank, eagle rods, diamond pistons, fully studded block. Just need lifters, LS7 or CTS-V R?..... I need a camshaft,... something nasty,... pushrods,...and probably a FAST 102 intake.
will be running E85, magnafuel XL750, -10 feed, -8 return, and 160lb/1600cc injectors. Here's a few pics.
check out the bronze..
Gorgeous heads,...thank you Brian Tooley and Mike from TEA for taking care of me, and making sure I had the right setup head for what I am trying to do.
Note: Upon delivery, when I pickup up the box,...I kinda thought that ONLY 1 head was inside the box, cause it felt soo light. Reason was, I just sold my AFR 205's,..which weighed about 75lbs to ship.... my 235's,..only weigh in at 62lbs,..shipping weight. So,.. these heads are indeed lighter then my AFR's,..which I loved very much for what I was asking of them.
Just FYI comparison.
I was soo happy getting the head(s).. that we ended up stringing up a fellow workmate that was talking **** all week long.... here's the result.

Thanks man,..they're extremely sexy. I've been fingering the runners like there a giant VAG. Very nice
thank man,..very nice indeed.
Heard good things in the past about CTS-V ones,...then,..recently heard not so good things about them. I honestly do not know what to go with. I figured, since I hadn't heard anything bad about LS7's... i'd go that route. But, truthfully,.. not 100%
See,..thats what I am afraid of. Luckly,..my heads aren't hard to pull off in the car but, still, I agree with your insight,.. I don't want to pull anything apart for some time.
This is what I have heard about these lifters. Good thing is,..I won't be reving the car out that hard on the crankshaft I am running(maybe when I go solid roller years from now I can go around 7.5K++rpms).
The advantage of the bronze is for the extensive heat that I will be putting through the heads. 20psi, in 5th, for 3/4 of a mile, will be hell on the valvetrain. So, I went with the inconal exhaust valves with the bronze guides/seats,...which is also reliable for street use-longevity. Was gonna go with..don't know how to spell it but,..berilium(BUR-ILL-E-UM),..as it's capablility to handle heat, is supposed to be crazy but,... not very good for street use.
So, he bronze was a recomendation from TEA,..as per the intended use for my car. Standing mile.
Thanks for the props on the heads.
