F13 with PRC's
F13 with PRC's Will an F13 on 112+2 have enough valve clearance using a set of PRC stage 2.5 5.3L heads? This is the route I think I want to go if everything will work out ok without flycutting. I put down 356hp and 372ftlbs with the stock h/c any guesses as to what this combo will make(mods in sig).
yup. i think jlaw and gomer ran that setup. TSP or Racetech could best tell you since they sell the heads as well as Futral. Kip, Allan, or Candy could shed some light on it for ya.

I wonder what kind of difference were looking at when going from say an F13 112+2 to a 114 lsa. It moves the powerband up right? but by how much and is there an overall HP/tq difference?

Maybe I had one of the first sets of PRC heads and they've since been revised, but I have a F13 114+4 and not only did I not have the recommended clearance (.080) but when I bolted a set of rockers on and tried to turn the motor over by hand it caught up around TDC. After checking PTV with a dial indicator I had -.010 clearance at 8* ATDC. Valve drop at TDC was only .123, I haven't been able to find out if this is normal or not??

A pulley, ported tb, air intake, and a few other tweaks will get it close to 445-450. It's an 03 M6 vette. I'll post the numbers after the bolt ons when we get them finished late next week.
Sweet... post them when done...
