Default TFS 215 or TEA stage 2 LS6?

The flow #s are almost identical and the TEAs are like $800-900 cheaper. Is there really any advantage in going with the TFS 215? I'm really considering these TEAs. Any input?

(Engine combo is in the sig)

I have the TFS 235's and they are a work of art. Depends on your budget. Alot of real good power has been laid down with TFS heads. You will have to buy special pushrod with the TFS heads. Also if you have the money some nice yella terra's from new era will top it off.

The TFS will out perform the ported stock casting however, if you are budget minded the TEA st 2 is a very stout head.

what's the runner size on the TEAs?

granted you're running a stroker so you can go bigger than normal, but the TFS with that 215 runner would make for some killer low/mid range on your engine.

i say the TFS.

i'm not sure you'd see the power gains to make it worth while over your current heads.

hard decision
