Default Calling all TEA guys.

I just ordered a set of TEA 5.3 heads (stage1.5), a 224/228 581''/588'' 114+2 lsa cam, Pacesettter LT's + ORY, slp lid and SFC last friday. I am hoping to make 400rwhp with the mods.
I have been doing some seaching on the boards about TEA heads and it seams most people speak highly of them. Brent from TEA has been wonderful to work with, taking time to answer my many questions.
What I would like to know is if you still are happy with them, what kind of power you are making with them? And feel free to make any comments/suggestion (good or bad) you would like to make about the heads or my set up. Also if anyone knows of someone else running a similar combo to me, I would like to also know what kind of power they are making.

Thanks

I have a set of their Stage III 6.0L FI heads and I could not be happier with them. Plus Brent was totally great to work with and the turn around was fast.

I think you will have no problem making more than 400 rwhp. I had an early set of TEA stage 2's that never gave me a bit of problem on my old Z/28. Car is still running well for the new owner. If I do heads on my Z06, they will be coming from TEA.

Damn South Fl that is impressive.
Brent is awsome to deal with. He will do whatever is in his power to make every customer happy.

My only problem is that I am burning up way too much fuel. I can hardly keep out of the gas due to the increased stimulation received from the added power.

401rwhp here with a bigger cam than you. No complaints since there are still several little things I can do and return for a wee bit more power.
