Your more than welcome to bring those heads down here & we can have a local flow bench compare them...

When I get my PRC's and the TSP cam I will be more than happy to post up all the results from the dyno and the track. All these flow #'s and dyno #'s don't mean that the car is gonna perform. But, I'm pretty confident that when my car goes to the track with the PRC 2.5 5.3's thats its gonna put down some nice times! I think Jason and the guys over at TSP do a good job and have answered all of my questions completely. The guys over at TEA do good work but I definately think their flowbench has a problem with lying. And I don't really like the way they do business with smart *** comments flying around all over the place. Brent did help me out with some much needed info that I really appreciate it, but I'm still going with TSP and the PRC's and we will just have to see how it goes. But, I'm willing to bet that I'll be 100% satisfied!

I really don't wish to drag out the Heads argument buuuttt, I am confused because Texas Speed appears to sell TEA heads. Can someone PM me or nicely explain why the competition between the two. Is TEA and Total Engine Airflow two different companies? THanks,

Matter of fact, while you still have the heads sitting in your floor waiting to be installed, why dont you have them flowed by an independent flow bench to see how they really flow?!

I am in the near future looken to put a heads and cam package on my car. I have been looken around and searchen the web but cant make up my mind but i somewhat like the TSP head and cam package
**Precision Race Components 5.3L Stage II Cylinder Heads - No Exchange, Your Choice of TSP Camshaft, TSP Chromemoly Hardened Pushrods, GM Heads/Cam Bolt & Gasket Kit, TSP Ported LS6 Oil Pump**for 2279.00 which i think is a good deal. Although i hear with the 5.3 heads it raises your compression, is it still ok to run nitrous through it if i ever wanted too? Also what would be the best cam to run that would be similar to the FM13 from TSP?
thx rob
