Default TSP224R with stage 2.5 5.3l heads

The car currently makes 390rwhp on a 224R cam and most of the bolt ons with a best ET of 12.30. What kind of power/ET gain can be expected with some stage 2.5 5.3l heads. Also, I understand that this setup will raise compression to 10.75:1, so how will this affect the car if a 100 shot(TNT wet kit) is sprayed ontop of this, versus stock heads. If anyone has this setup, feedback please!

it should react well to the jug.the slightly higher cr won't have much of an efect on the bottle but it will give you a slightly higher dcr which will help bottom end grunt if the ported heads don't make you lose alittle with their bigger runners.

How would the TSP 5.3 heads do on a small 224R cam car w/an M6? Given the added compression, how would the combo respond to a TNT 100 shot?
100 shot will act about the same on any cam. Doesnt matter if it is a tradional or reverse split, big or little cam.

Heads are gonna add power regardless. Higher compression is usually better for nitrous. The 5.3 heads will add anywhere from 25-40rwhp. Also plays a role in how much your cam is using their abilities.

I have Tr224/112 cam with those heads in an A4.Iput down 411 rwhp 400ft so far.The reason i say so far is that the numbers were still climbing then bang!!!My driveshaft whent out.Before the heads and fast intake I was just cammed with an ls6intake and put down 348rwhp,so with the heads and fast it gave a 62rwhp SO FAR.We'll see what it does when we finish the tune.You could go to the dynamometer section and look for my post/thread"A4 TR224/112 TSPstage2.5 5.3l fast 90/90" it has my dyno graph.Hope this helps
