Default Absolute Speed heads.

I'm trying to work together my H/C setup and so far I've decided on the TR224 on 112LSA Cam.

Now for the heads.

This is a street car which is why I picked the TR224 cam. I was looking at the Absolute Speed 5.3L heads and they have a stage 2 and stage 2.5. The Stage 2.5 is about $1000 more, but what does it offer??

Any other suggestions for heads will be appreciated.

Thanks.

I really wouldnt do the 2.5s unless you went all out with a huge cam, race setup. The stage 2s are perfect for that cam and Jay is an awesome guy to work with! He makes sure youre happy or hes not happy.

What about for a F11 cam? (228/230 .585 .595 112) Would the stage 2s be enough? Around how much more hp and tq will the 2.5s offer over the stage 2s.

This question is best answered by calling Jay. Trust me, he will answer anything you need to know. Check out my 6.0 Liter Flow #'s in this forum above this post. Great work and very good prices.
