Should have stuck with what works..but I ventured out and it didn't pay
Refering to their website,
-the ETP CNC Ported LS7 245 Heads are flowing 374/229 CFM at .650” – 4.100 Bore
-the ETP CNC Ported 240 Heads are flowing 338/231 CFM at .600” – 4.000 Bore
What about those numbers???
Is it the same kind of dying measurement with all ET heads or something very specific??

I beleive the TFS heads sell for $2400 and there are some posts from a couple people that have them and the results are pretty good.

I just talked to Cary @ ET Peformance yesterday about which ET heads he recommends for max performance on a 402 motor. He STRONGLY recommended the ETP LS7 4" bore heads. Might be something for you to consider if you have not bought heads yet.

Im sure he does does recomend his own heads for....
as good of heads as im sure they are, Im not willing to wait 3 months on a set of heads.
Some good info in here for someone who hasn't picked which heads to go with yet. (like me)
