Spoke to Brian @ TEA I had about a 10 minute conversation and these guys are awesome. They state that their heads will flow at least 300/255 cfm @ .600 lift on their flow bench which you can take with a grain of salt. One thing that was interesting is he stated that 90% of the people that get their cylinder heads go with "standard compression" which is 10.8:1. Where on the other hand GTP advertises the same 300cfm/220 no pipe #s but they mill all of their heads .030 which should make for 11.5:1. Just food for thought.

Re: Spoke to Brian @ TEA This is their TEA stage 2 LS1 heads right? I might have to make a 45 minute drive up there and get some heads ported from them.......

Re: Spoke to Brian @ TEA NastyC5,
I am building a motor for my neighbor, my car is eventually going to have a Single turbo and some 6.0 heads. I just want to find out the best people to call for my neighbor's SS.

Re: Spoke to Brian @ TEA I agree, from all the times I have spoken to Brian, I have concluded this is a real stand out kind of company. I also have friends running his 5.0 stuff that are making huge power. If you get your heads in during september the cnc is discounted to $600, that is a $300 savings.

The stage 2 GTP 5.3l truck heads are milled .015". This gives you a chamber size of 60cc and around 11.2:1 compression.
This are how all the GTPs are ordered. The heads can be milled more or less, depending on the application.
