I need help on what heads I can run to make the car faster. I can rape most cars 1 & 2 gear but after that my buddy's STOCK 99 LS1 Camaro can stay beside me, and I mean all stock except a lid and cat back. I have looked at many different heads, but I want real world comparison of heads with this cam.


Mods:
Torquer 2 232/234, .595"/.598" 112lsa
Header's
Ory
GMMG
LS6 Intake
4.10

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks, Joe

 

what do you have done suspension wise???? that cam makes power mid and up top you should be pulling away correct me if i am wrong anyone

 

I vote TSP 5.3L Stage 2.5 heads or TSP or Livernois CNC's LS2/LS6 heads.

Absolutely the best bang for the buck....and tons of guys making 400+ rwhp on that combo with supporting mods.

 

Livernois

 

nothing its all stock suspension. We even raced from a 50mph roll and I only pulled a half a car on him

 

nobody else???

 

Either your friend is spraying or you just suck at driving. j/k On the top end, I believe your friend can keep up due to your 4.10 gears which suck for top end.

 

I have T2 and you are absolutely correct.

 

I've got it on good authority that the T2 with full boltons will make over 450rwhp with TSP LS6 2.5 stage heads. In fact, You'll need to get larger injectors to realize the full potential. That's on an M6 btw. While the 5.3s will raise your compression a bit, I don't believe they will out flow the afore mentioned heads. Still not a bad choice between the two for budget heads. Ofcourse AFR 205s are out there if money isn't an issue.

 

thats the sad part his clutch is screwed up and he cant drive half as good as I can, so I need something to bring the power up

 

Something doesn't sound right.. Was your car tuned after the cam install??

 

sure was tuned it runs great I thought until I raced my buddy in his stock ls1 now Im pissed off because its slow as a stock

edit this is summit, but Im on my buddys computer

 

Ive had quite a few guys run that comp grind with our heads with good results.

 

you have any dyno results

 

No, not off hand... it's rare for customers that didnt get the install done here to send me dyno graphs... even if they say they are going to. Ill see if I can dig up something.

 

I would appreciate it!

Thanks, Joe

 

Clutch being screwed yea, but "I cant drive half as good as you" I don't really know about. lol. yea we were both just curious why I was keeping up? I'm not spraying, summit knows that we help each other with everything that is done to our cars lol!

 

I was thinking about this combo--any clearance issues with this combo?? or i may just research a monster cam for these heads.

 

I am going to vote for the PRC 5.3 heads. As long as you don't deck the head much more, you wont have and piston to valve clearance issues. Plus take a look in the dyno section, many combo's with the T2 cam and these heads are laying down around 450+ with all the supporting mods. Its a great setup!

Any depending what you mean by monster cam, but yes you will start running into tight clearances once you get above the mid 23x durations and .600+ lift cams. My ".234 ... .598" intake side cam had issues, but TSP can set it up for their MS3 to clear. Once you get into those size of cams though, you HAVE to check for the proper clearance.

 

Anymore opinions?
