Crane 228/232 112+5, this is a street only setup, at least that was the plan. Stock '02 ZO6 with headers, and FAST90.

You may want to go a little smaller on the cam for a street only setup (if you dont already have that cam). With the combination you have (Fast 90 TFS heads) you are going to be well over 510HP @ the flywheel. With a 216 ish cam you will trade some hp for some low end torque. If you already have the cam slide it in and hold on!

Great numbers! Are you going to dyno it after the install?

The thing I'm going for is midrange. Car's so light that traction is non-existant until the top of 2nd now, and after the H/C... Really want it to pull like a mother from 60-150. Not a DD, but with the low first gear of the M12, it's like a MN6 with 3.90s. Probably need to find a real traction tire that's available in 19".

Yeah, John, planning on doing the install in the garage, and after a couple of break-in miles and an oil change, take it over to a tuner by Portland.(about three hours down the road) He uses a Mustang dyno, and has a real good rep. Some time after that I'll take it to the place I got a baseline (w/headers) that uses a Dynojet, so I'll have a comparison. Another guy just down the street from me has a Dynapak, and might even try that one for laughs.

My car is the same way, and I agree about the mid range. I think that head and cam combo will work great. Good luck, and post your results.

Once upon a time I would have called BS on flow numbers like those.

Good luck and keep us posted

I must disagree.
He already has a Z06 cam swaping to a 216ish cam would be a waste.
Probally wouldn't even gain 15 RWHP.
Stick with the cam you have it should work.
The +5 is a bit overkill but the cam should still be very good.

You would call BS on your own heads? Hear voices behind you much Brian?

It's all about comprehension. Hence the "Once upon a time" part of that sentence. Meaning the heads flow more air then they have a right to, more then I would have thought possible on a 3.90 bore.

Did these numbers come from TEA's flowbench?

I would assume so. They take the raw castings, do all the machine work, and final assembly, and then ship to the customer.
