What cc chamber? I REALLY want to upgrade heads while my motor is apart. It is between these and the new AFR's if they come out in time. My car is at 11.75 to 1 right now with the 72 cc heads and i want to get it up to atleast 13to 1.

evo, get the trick flow from tea, they are worth the extra coin!!


silverbeast, call TEA tell them your specs and they will cut the heads to be what ever you want.

i delt with them on my set up, i have custom dome pistions so we didnt know if the valve algle would work. they sent me a junk head to test fit and check PV to be sure everything would fit etc etc. i then told them my specs, how much space i had we did the math and came up with my current set up which picked up 3 tenths and 5 mph!!!!!

tea gets an A++ from me, i highly recommend dealing with them, you wont be sorry

I'm using TEA Stage II LS6 heads on my current engine build (Forged internal, stock cui, heads/cam LS6, 11.3:1 CR, custom 24x/24x, .62x/.62x cam). You really can't go wrong with the price of these heads. The motor is at our builder right now, I hope to have it running by the end of the month with some numbers!

Tell me, which valves are you guys running? Stock? aftermarket? Also, are you using a 59cc chamber?

Mine are using Ferrea 2.04" Intake and 1.575 exhaust valves, and I'm milled to 59cc.

I'll be doing a full write up with pictures and everything once the motor gets back from our builder (just waiting on pistons). I'm hoping for 480rwhp on our Mustang Dyno through an T56 Trans, and I'll take it to local DynoJet dyno for some bragging numbers. Unfortunately I don't have the coin for a rear end this year otherwise I'd have some time slips as well. Here's a little sneak peak of the rest of the build:

Kooks 1 7/8" x 3" Race headers
Kooks 3" to OEM Off road pipe
Corsa Cat Back (THANKS GUS!)
RPM Level 4 Trans
LS7 Clutch
FAST 92 Intake and TB
Mezier Electric Water Pump

I just bought a set of TFS 235's for my 408. I will see how they do compaired to my ETP 225's. Mike from TEA was very nice to deal with. I ordered them last Thursday before the 4th and he said I should see them by tomorrow (wednesday). That is pretty quick...

I routinely get 495-505rwhp out of LS7's with headers, cai, and tune, and those clutches have stood up fine. Plus the LS7 makes a lot more torque than I ever will. As far as RPM, I'll only be spinning my motor 200-400rpm more than an stock LS7. I think it's the right fit, and the only single disc I'd go with. If it doesn't work, I'll throw in a dual disc, but for the HP/TQ/RPM's you can't beat the price. I just really don't want to have to go to a dual.

i have an ls7 clutch waiting to go into my 03 Z06, that car on spray makes about 500 rwhp, so i went with the ls7 for that like stock street car feel.
im 99% sure it will hold up just fine

The only thing I'm worried about is how it'll handle a 150hp shot on my motor next season.
