My reverse split tr230 cam and budget heads? I know this cam was designed around stock heads and intake, so would putting a set of budget heads on only see minimal gains?
Heads in question would be AI 241 219cc hc, AI 243's, PRC ls6 stage 1, or PRC 5.3 2.5s.
Now I know ported 243's will outflow 241's, but it seems like they are really close in power and the smaller heads may be better for low and midrange? I also wondered if the reverse split would actually accommodate the smaller AI 241's or the 5.3's better.
My car doesn't live a 6k rpms and power in the driving around town range is important. I'm not interested in swapping out my either, for all the reverse split haters lol. But I don't want to only pick up 10hp in the upper rpm rand either, so I'm trying to figure out if the cost is worth it with this can.
