Jon

 

That's gonna be a solid set-up. I've seen it put down some nice numbers. Let us know how it goes!

 

thats what im hoping for...

 

here are afew pics of the heads

 

anyone care to comment on the flow #'s? just curious of ppl's opinions...thanks

Jon

 

very nice flow numbers, I also like how you've got them on the bed, are you going to sleep with your cam under your pillow also?

these are the flow numbers on my CNC LS6 heads for comparison:
looks like the intake numbers are very very close to mine, but your exhaust is way better. What size valves?


I E
>.100 66 55
>.200 140 112
>.300 210 163
>.400 256 192
>.500 291 213
>.550 304 218
>.600 307 222

 

valves are:

Intake-2.02
exhaust-1.55

 

Nice

Now, get to work and install those goodies ASAP

 

your valves are bigger,which helps, but yeah, a very nice flowing exhaust on those heads.

And they look gorgeous!!!

I'd like to make a prediction

435rwhp/402rwtq

keep us informed bro...........

 

Everyones exhaust # would look better if we all used a tube to flow them

 

hey if that is what i get, i'd be happy...since i am still rockin the ls1 intake, stock pulley and non ported TB...ill keep you all updated for sure

Jon

 

WOW! heads look great man...TEA is currently doing my 5.3 stage 1.5 right now and i cant wait to get them back myself...i cant believe how good the flow numbers are for these heads...

 

ya i was surprised myself...i'd say i have a good adverage flowing set of heads..i have seen worse and i have seen better, so im glad im in the middle...should produce some good #'s and track times...*crosses fingers*

Jon

 

So, what a minute, let me get this straight. You ordered parts, got them as promised, weren't overcharged, and you don't have to worry about them failing catastrophically while running them on your car?

Unbelievable. What a concept.

Seriously, that should be a kick *** combo, TEA/FMS combos seem hard to beat. Congrats on the goodies, Shawn

 

You wont have to worry bout that set up laying the smack down if you got all the right bolt ons.

 

oh I wouldn't go that far. We recently flowed a competitors head that barley went 200 with a pipe. The head used a 1.6 valve also.
Jon,
Glad everything got there as planed. Well almost everything I must have slipped up on the pushrods and I will send them out in the morning. Keep us updated as to how well they do.
Brent

 

Why would one not flow the head with out the pipe? Do people run there cars with no headers/manifold? The pipe is the only way to go. It should be a killer combo, but it will be severly restricted with the LS-1 intake.

 

Glad to hear you got your packages, keep us updated on how it goes and let me know if you have any questions.

 

Congrats!!!

When are they going on?

 

its alright brent, like i said i knew i would get them so i wasnt worried about it...
