Anyone tried PRC 237CC full aftermarket casting heads?
#21
I'd be very interested in knowing the rest of the story ^^! We've tested them on the engine dyno with virtually every camshaft combo we could find, back to back with all of our other heads and numerous competitor's heads as well....Not once did they ever lose HP or TQ like you state there vs the 5.3L heads (or LS6 for that matter)!

PRC 237 made 512rwhp@5800RPM and 487 RWTQ on my LY6 iron 427..and PRC stage 2.5 make 525RWHP@5800RPM and 506RWTQ..all at the same AFR ratio of 13.1AFR..came back with 5.3 stage 2.5 heads and 525RWHP AND 506RWTQ ..i think that i may have valve-flotting condition with these rollers rockers but i changed my .650spring and replace it by 675eht double and i have corrected the 6400rpm valve flotting that i had..but can i already have the same problem at 5800peak with no valve flotting until 7000rpm with eht .675 springs kit..?

Seems like to me the 5.3 heads would bump the compression up vs the 237's which would lower it and explain his loss. Now for the boosted guys such as myself, we don't necessarily lose anything since we force alot more air through them. So where as they may lose you 10-15hp (allegedly) on a N/A setup. Curious what chamber size he was running.

I am still working on it Eric, I put the motor in this weekend and will try to get the tranny back in next weekend, After that I will be getting back in touch with Pat G to set up a time to take it to Victoria. It's hard to find time to work on the car with my work schedule but it is coming along, I am making sure I do everything right, the car hasn't ran in 12 years so no need to rush it now. Erik I will send you the results when I am all done, i haven't forgot about ya. I'm sure I'll be posting them here also....The title will say " HKE + Pat G = ____rwhp for Me"
