Default H/C thoughts...

Well, I'm about to start on a LSX motor build to swap into my 95 Z over the winter and was wondering what you LSx guys thought about the H/C pakcage that Trickflow offers...Here's what My building block is most likely going to be...

Starting point:
LS2 shortblock
going forged internals

The Trick-Flow H/C package with 228/230 cam is pretty much what I was looking to do power wise on motor..(515fwhp rated) motor is going to be topped off with a Fast 90/90 with 200 hit sitting on standby...Now I know I could make alot more power other ways but I'm not looking to build a high HP beast...just a pretty agressive street car that puts some good power to the ground...

Sounds like just what you want. Plenty streetable with really good power. TFS have awesome low/mid lift #'s so should make good lowend too.

The Trickflow heads work really well & will make good power. If your looking for 515 flywheel hp it's pretty easy to get though. We recently did a magazine dyno test for GM High Tech where PRC Stage 1 LS6 heads & MS4 camshaft made 551fwhp with a Fast intake. The Torquer 3 made mid 540s & both combos could be purchased with the fast intake & 92mm throttle body for cheaper than your current option.

Both combos will work well, but you don't have to spend huge money to make 515fwhp IMHO.
