Default Upgrading top end on turbo build.

Currently running hand ported 04 Z06 heads and a Typhoon 85/85 setup...Im wondering if upgrading to a bigger Holley single plane intake, bigger TB, and some cnc'd heads would see any gains.

You will make the same amount of power on less boost with a better flowing setup, which is easier on parts. Lol. This is one of the reasons I have a lot of money in my top end...

If those heads are ported right you won't pick up a whole lot from those heads. Having a cam custom ground to your setup would likely yeild larger gains than from the heads. But no doubt a set of AFR heads or the like will flow better.
