It has crossed my mind to sell these beautiful heads and go with the new TFS Genx 255's which are also a rectangular port head but i am still thinking it over.

TFS for the win...you have a link to these 255 heads or know the specs?

The LSAs should be fine in your setup, but a aftermarket casting won't hurt

Yea I dont think there is much extra power to be had with the TFS but the aftermarket casting, thicker deck and 6 bolt for future plans is what im looking at!

I notice that the TFS 255's look a little weak on the exhaust side compared to what I have currently something like 20-30cfm on the exhaust side.. am I missing something?

If you send them to TEA you wouldn't have that problem.

You can send them to my house

TEA has a badass reputation soo you wont be let down. When you plan on shipping them?

slowlsx

What do you mean shipping them? Im going to sell these and TEA will be building the new trickflows for me... martin says they get them unported and TEA does all the work themselves so im assuming the flow #s will be higher than what they are if you would buy them assembled from jegs or summit

Here is a good read on the heads. Looks like these and the Mast are the top dogs in the rectangular port game? Just sold my LSA's sooo

TEA receives what is known as a "porter's casting" and then CNC it themselves. The valve placement, combustion chamber CNC work, valve job, intake and exhaust runner work is all CNC'd in house by TEA.

With that being said, are the flow #'s different than what is shown for these heads on their site?

Sales@Tick

iTrader: (3)

Flow numbers don't matter near as much as runner/valve area does in a forced induction application. That said, I don't have any numbers on the TEA LS3 heads, but every set of TFS heads and CNC ported stock castings I've ever bought for a customer that comes from TEA has their own individual flow report with them in the box.

That said, flow numbers are still very conducive with making power so do not disregard them all together and think that a set of bone stock 317's will get you there either. The port's shape and how it changes as the length of the port changes is what matters and how the throat is sized in terms of the valve diameter. Valve job is very important as well.
