Default Who has TSP Terminator heads?

TSP has managed to create quite a hype with their Terminator heads. I admit I'm interested. But who has them, other than the one guy who was the trophy dyno car? I want to see other results, besides the main high hp first car that all shops seem to be able to create. Anybody else have them?

Question



N4cer, asked for info on the Terminator heads, not Edelbrocks.

Other than TRMIN8R's car that went 490 at TSP I haven't seen anyone else's results.

I already knew that.

The GMHTP article has the results of Edelbrock heads that were ported by LPE/Edelbrock, not TSP, so the results could be different than the TSP Terminators depending on how good the LPE/Edelbrock porting is.

Terminators are ports designed by School of Automotive Machinists. I'm just interested. I called TSP, but that's like calling Ford and asking if a Mustang is a slow turd. We all know they are, but they'll still say they're the fastest car around.

Bump up.

I'm quite interested in this too. With those small runners and the flow numbers the manufacturer quotes, they should be real nice heads. But of course, I want to see some dyno data first.

I'm willing to make my car the guinea pig, if I can get some free heads of course.....

Haven't put it on a dyno. My tuner has a dyno program while we street tuned it, and it showed 410 or close. But honestly, that might be a little generous. I am thinking closer to 395-400. I would love to go G5X2 or the custom cam you and I discussed, and stick it under some Terminators, but the feedback is nil. I tried to become a guinea pig, and they only offered to knock $50 off. Not impressed.

If it didn't work for you, I guess my previous comment about becoming a guinea pig isn't going to work out either.

Let's keep this post up, maybe it will generate some interest.

Casey Schnider of SAM I believe is the one who designed the port. I'd trust his work OVER ANYONE! Guy has SERIOUS talent when it comes to heads.

So does "designed the port" translate into TSP putting a quality CNC on them? I'm not bashing TSP. I'm just concerned since they're good guys but you never know with a new product. Especially at that price.
