as the title says i am planning on installing the torquer v3 from tsp in my 99 trans am but am not sure what heads would be the best to go with for this cam. my supporting mods will include a fast 90 intake and throttle body, pacesetter lt,ory,slp cat back, 3200 stall, and 3.73 gears. if anybody could give me some ideas on what heads would be the best it would be awesome. thanks!

 

I know Im not helping but can you post results when you get this done. I am getting all similar parts except a bit smaller cam and ls6 intake.

To help out, atleast stock 243 heads, personally i thought about going all aout with some afr225s.

 

TSP ported 243's

 

R the 243's ls6 heads or not? what r they?

 

Yes they are the better LS6 heads.

 

If it's in the budget, the premium price/performance head will be the PRC 227's! The more budget oriented head would be the Stage 2.5 LS6 heads!

We can get you setup with either and make sure you have everything else you need to finish the project too! Give us a call sometime!

 

alright thanks for the info.i will have to give you guys a call sometime soon.

 

what would these types of heads do to the compression of the engine?

 

LS6's will bump you up to about 10.4:1 or so. The 215's will bump you a bit more, to about 10.9:1 or so. Of course additional milling is available at no extra charge, upon request!

 

are the 227's the same as the 215's? i am kind of confused

 

The 227's have a little larger valve, little larger intake runner, and flow a bit more air!

 

awesome thanks for the info! sorry about all the questions but i was also wondering what would be the best to mill them to or do most ppl not mill them?

 

Most opt to have the milling done because it is no additional charge and only helps power, torque, and throttle response on NA and nitrous combos!

 

how do the 227 stack up against your stage 2.5 ls6 heads and your stage 2.5 5.3 heads?..in other words if the poster kept the same came how much more rwhp can he expect over the stage 2.5 heads with the 227

 

My Torquer V2 and TSP Stage 2.5 5.3 heads made 422/393 through a stalled automatic. Also running mac midlength headers and an LS6 intake. I was very happy considering Mac mids and LS6 intake are not the ideal choices for maximum HP gains with my setup.

 

Average gains from the ported GM castings to the aftermarket casting will be about 15-20rwhp!

 

Anyone else has this cam?? I'm intrested in buying for nxt month cam swap but need to know more about what supporting mods, any track times? A4 guys what kind of stall are ya using??

 

RUN THE 215 i have them in my car and my car made 440rwh and402 foot pounds on a dyno jet and i use a ls6 intake and tb

 

I've had my current setup for about 3.5 years now. I'd listen to what Matt at TSP is preaching. Back when I picked out the H/C package they only had the LS6 and 5.3 Heads. It would be moot for somebody like me at this stage to buy some 227s for 15 RWHP, but if you're just starting off do it right the first time to get the best results from your H/C swap IMO. Good luck.

* I didn't get mine milled at all and used stock GM MLS gaskets and 7.425 pushrods. Link to dyno thread in sig.

 

i have c5 z 04 z16 with a .601 .605 236 238 112 lsa +4 deg adv with lg s street series headers and borla stinger it put down 433 rwhp 400 rwtq i was thinking can i do a 102 mm fast intake with trickflow 215 s i heard theyre a good chice or AFR 205 (but smaller intake runner than the 215 s trickflows) wich would be my best bet for heeads never heard of those 227 u metion and someone recomended not to go with anything bigger than the 215 s because of the cubic in issue is that true or can i run bigger than the 215 s ..... ???? thnks matt...
