Hate to bring back an old thread but t-rex guys what heads are you using? I don't want to flycut and I want a good head that will yeild good power. I heard that stock height heads will work with no flycutting. What are you guys using?? Patriot LS6?? PRC LS6?? Looking for a little guidence here any help greatly appreciated!

LOL! That's funny.
Seriously, everyone knows it doesn't make a difference as long as you use one or the other.

Wow. What's up with the sudden rush of people being scared to flycut? What have you seen happen from flycutting? Because lots of people say "this" or "that" "may happen", but they can't ever name one single person that it's happened to. So with a huge cam that needs the extra static compression to raise its dynamic compression, why would you not flycut? That's just silly.

Im not "scared" to fly cut I just want to aviod it if possible. If not so be it, I will do it if I have to, I just want one less thing to do.

It'll be worth it man. It's not too bad either. Sounds super tough, but once you look at the tool you'll see there's only one way to do it.

Wow guys. Have fun with this. I'm glad that the TRex was designed to fit under stock cylinder heads so I wouldn't have to do this like you guys think you need to.

how is the t-rex cam for driving around town? is it just stupid? or does it run well.

obviously with a good tune.


1 more thing to add, everyone who is saying a 12 bolt is stronger than a 9" give your head a shake. if that were true why are 90% of drag cars running a 9". Stronger ring and pinion, takes more abuse, and easy gear swaps.

and to add, everyone saying ohhh power loss this and that with the 9", again thats bullshit. i dynoed with a factory 10 bolt, then again after wih the 9" i lost 9 rwhp. only 9. big whoop, ill take the loss and know i will never break my rearend.

the only downside to the 9" is that it was hard to get to fit. other than that, no regrets. for the extra $100 from moser, buy it.


i have made 20 passes at 6000 rpm and dumping the clutch with et streets and hooking. my car loves it, its running perfect.

Just took my trexed car out today for the first time, in stop and go traffic. How fun. No problems what so ever. Got it tuned by Pcm For Less. Sounds killer too. Im running a th350 with a 4k stall on 3.42 gears right now.

I drive my car back and forth to college on stock stall and gears.It bucks no doubt but to be able to do that was amazing to me, stall converter on the way though. Does great on gas for a big cam. I love it!!!

That's a pretty low dump. I hope that's a small cam to be worth dumping at such low RPM.
