Default TEA Stage 2 Heads for my setup?

I talked to TEA today and they reconmend I use the 5.3's on my forged 347 setup for low compression. I just want you guys opinions on that advice. I had 6.0l heads from FFHP but I returned them because they sent me the wrong heads. Just want some input from the blown crowd.


Thanks

Joe M

i wouldn't use a 5.3L head for low compression...6.0L heads are for low compression...and 5.3L heads are for high compression...but i don't know why tea would tell you that if it wasn't good for your combo

I am running the TEA 5.3 heads with fairly large chambers and over a 25 cc dished piston. That will give plenty low enough compression.

Let us know your combo better because it does all depend on the pistons.
