Default Ordered my heads :)

Well i finally made a disision. I decided to go with the TEA 1.5 5.3's my current cam and a Fast 90/90. I know that a 224/228 is a older small grind but, what the hell.

Did you consider the PRC 2.5 R's. I put them on my car and make 460-470 with a little 230-236 112 XE-R cam and ported 90/90.

I did, but liked what i read about the TEA heads. Given the power that the car made before the heads, i think that those heads and the 90/90 will get me to 450rwhp. If not, oh well.

you can't go wrong with TEA's heads.they should be a good match for your cam.from what i've seen on here,a forward split cam works really good with the 1.5s.
