We are still taking pre-orders currently. Expected shipping date is mid-late January! We haven't tested the 6 bolt TFS (only the 4 bolt setup), but to the best of my knowledge their port is the same for 6 bolt vs 4 bolt. They will be very comparable in performance to the TFS heads. Only the LSx 6 bolt pattern is available currently. There is room for more porting in the castings, but for an unexperienced porter it would be very easy to hurt the vehicle's performance by doing so.

The heads flow about 318cfm @ .600 lift which is great, if you want more power under the curve then you might look into milling the heads.

This is what I was told about my heads from them, a few yrs ago. They are the 2.5(R) LS6 heads they had a while back. Around 2006.

I want to see dyno numbers, not knocking, but for that price you can get afr's or tfs's.

correct..they didnt release these as a "budget" or "lower quality" casting than a AFR or TFS. They are direct competitors that should make comparable (or hopefully better!) numbers and results for a comparable price.

We have some on order and cant wait to use them.

It will be nice once these are realesed and see how we can hand port them to be an very competive head for a 15 degree head. Im going to run some of thier older stuff on an LS3 416-about same intake runner volume, but looking at the options for the valves they will be offering.

I'm pretty sure they are less than 15 degrees. I believe they are around 13 degrees.

Really? Even better, I was under the impression the new PRCs were on the stock valve angle.

I hear that independent results are on the way soon. From what I hear they are direct competitors with AFR and TFS. There is nothing budget about the aftermarket PRC castings. Current testing proves they are as good or better than the AFR and TFS heads.

No issues. I thought we'd already posted the engine dyno results for the 418 we tested them on here. I'll try to get the info up soon guys! Sorry for the delay!

Compare these heads to the TFS 235cc heads on a 4.030" bore fixture (the exhaust #'s are not compareable as the TFS heads are with a 1 7/8" pipe vs no pipe for TSP)

Is this True about the TFS head not flowing more cause of them being flowed with a 1 7/8 pipe ?

Yes, it was raised to give extra clearance for bulkier aftermarket rockers!

A pipe on the exhaust will increase the numbers.
