tsp stage 1's cracked
 
i have tsp stage 1's and theres a hole in the top of one of the intake ports, question is - could that make a hissing sound and what heads should i get to replace( should i just get a refund, or pay more and exchange them for afr's or something)
im really sick of working on my car now, dont want to keep changing parts. :bang: im really pissed my tsp heads broke.

Are these their new heads or do you have a older set? Just curious cause I have yet to see a new set do this but there was a issue people were having on the older heads. When it would happen it was usually in the rocker area from the porting making the material a little troo thin. But I believe most those cases were stage 2.5's not stage 1's.

Best thing you can do is contact TSP before you get on here & accidently come across wrong b/c your mad & in the moment so to say. I'm sure TSP will do whatever they can to help you out as long as you bought the heads directly from them.

are you sure it's not in all of the ports. when you say a hole it sounds like your talking about the rocker arm bolt being broken through which is normal. if this isn't what your talking about i'd call TSP

yeah i bought them directly from tsp and i think they are the older stage 1's , the crack is deffintely from overporting its actually a crack and a small hole. didnt mean to sound like i was bashing tsp if i came across that way.. im just bored of working on my car i like driving it not working on it. plan to contact them after i find my receipt, just wanted to get some info on the hissing and best course for new heads.

Give me a call when you get a chance. We are more than willing to help you out. We now have a revised version of the LS6 head with a smaller 225cc runner w/ some increased airflow.

Always give the shop the opportunity to help out, if it is a manufacturing/design flaw I am sure they can come to some concession.
