I gained 127rwhp from just Trick flow heads and Allens Futrals cam and 30lb SVO injectors. Stock intake and fuel pump.. Now I have a ported fast 90mm and Nick Williams throttle body and a Race Tronics/Walbro 255 intank fuel pump.. Hp #'s mean very little to me since I am an A4 with a 4400rpm stall converter.. What happens at the track is what is most important!! 10.99@122mph 1.49 60ft.

Thats what I like to hear!! I am building a new motor for my car and will not be using the heads/cam/intake that are on the car now. I am going with the Trick Flow 235's CNC and another custom cam so I need to sell this stuff. Maybe we could work out a deal?

I really don't need the valve springs either and they are good for .650 lift. I could let the heads assembled go for $1900.00 plus shipping. This is complete and ready to go on your car.. Oh by the way they are milled down to 62cc

few minor differences..

PRC ls6's stg 1, Ms4 cam, stock rockers, stock MAF, stock injectors (98), pacesetters, custom duals xpipe with 1 chamber race FM's dumped, Vig. 4k stall, stock tranny, stock rear with girdle on it, 410s, drag lites (15x10 15x3.5)
everything else is close to exactly the same... intake is the same.. and stuff..

whats your 1/8 times/traps? 60 foot.. just curious..
