Default Finished the PRC heads & G5X3 cam install!

Just finished installing the PRC 5.3 2.5's and G5X3 114 cam this afternoon. Car sounds totally different than my previous PP heads and 231/237 and is alot more responsive. I'm going to get it retuned Monday or Tuesday and will have some new track time shortly.

Too bad you didn't leave the same cam in there so we could see how much gain you got with just the heads......

I'm glad to hear that you have the car up and running. Definitely post up the results. I think the Precision Race Components cylinder heads are going to make for a NICE improvement. Combine that with the more aggressive camshaft, and you should leave the dyno with a smile on your face.

Hey did you have to flycut your pistonsFor that heads and cam combo? Reason I'm asking is that I currently have the magic stick, and I have to take my heads off this week to replace my lifters and while I'm at it I'm planning on swapping in the PRC's with the G5x3 since I was told the MS3 is too big. ANy info would help , nice setup by the way.

No flycutting with this setup. I talked to Jason at TSP when I ordered the heads and he said it would work and it did. The G5X3 is on a 114 lsa. Hope this helps.

I am going to run a MS3 with my PRC's and they will not fit without flycutting, that's what Jason told me anyways

Thanks, well I can't afford to get heads, swap out for a different cam etc. right now, so I guess I'll just replace my lifters and get my tb ported.
