Best heads for G5X2 cam
Re: Best heads for G5X2 cam Let me get this straight about TEA testing.
TEA-Stage 1,same power as LG heads.
TEA-Stage 1.5,only head out there that can make more power will cost you $4000,for 6 more HP.
Those are some outstanding claims,now can you please show us all the dyno data with all the specs on the car and type of tune.

Re: Best heads for G5X2 cam Definitely go with Absolute Speed! Jay has been working with Lou to maximize HP/TQ for quite a while. Jay has developed the Stage 2.5 which has a larger intake valve and additional port shaping that really works well with the G5X2.
Re: Best heads for G5X2 cam Dyno tests were done in Fl., the LG heads, G5X2 cam, stick car made 42ish, on that same dyno Vince made 420 with our Stg I head that was hand finished by Brandon Aders. The rest is confidential due to the pissing match it may start, I've already said more then I should.
I guess bottom line is a good head will make good power with that cam whether or not the head is "made" for that cam. Although the Cartech headed car lost power over the cam he had in it,(I hesitate to say that because of the wrath that will be brought on to me for saying the truth), but that guy is wanting to spray the car so I know it will work out. Our heads probably like smaller, or reverse split cams to run on motor, our 1.5 heads and a TR 224 cam has made almost as much power on our dyno as anything we have ever tested. So go figure, I know someone will call me a liar or bias but I do not lie, even if it hurts.
Our Stage III LS6 head will be start at $1995 and go up to $2399 plus core, it is based on the Judson Massengill 6.0 truck program we already have. We have 2 different Stage III programs, a 2.05 dia valve and a 2.08 dia valve program. When we change the seats and guides it drives the price up to the $2399 range. Hope this helps.

Re: Best heads for G5X2 cam You might want to know that in independent testing the LG heads (AS maybe?) made for that cam made no more power then our heads with that cam. In fact we have had Stg I heads and cam make almost as much power on that same dyno.
You have nerve jumping into posts and putting down other sponsors, This is not the only post and I am not the only sponsor you have done it to. Untill you have a number of 450 and 460 N.A cars out there to back yourself up, dont write anything

Re: Best heads for G5X2 cam They should have a head porters show down. Like the engine builders show down. Everyone bring a set of heads. Have all the heads flowed on the same machine the exact same way with and without the LS6 intake. And finally have the top three heads put on the same car and dynoed and/or taken to the local track.

Re: Best heads for G5X2 cam WHITETIGER, the proof is in the pudding. ABSOLUTE SPEED has the BEST dyno #'s out there with the g5x2 cam. If LG comes in here he will tell you about the tea headed car that had the g5x2 cam, it was a flop. I believe it was about 30hp shy of AS headed cars.

Re: Best heads for G5X2 cam Brian..
you talk about your heads working well.. I dont think anyone has ever disputed that. I know of quite a few sets of your heads that dont flow anywhere near your advertised numbers. Can you explain this? Also, if someone is to spend over 2k on a set of your heads, how long does it take and will YOU be doing the job or some 16yr old kid? Ive seen some shady port work that i know you couldnt even do if you were porting with your feet. Inquiring minds want to know.
If anyone would like to see pics of some shady work Ive seen come from TEA, please PM me. I can show you a few sets of heads that were ported through the runner and caused the cylinder to fill up with water.
