New heads for T Rex cam Im looking for some idea or recommendations on heads for my T-Rex cam, I have patriot stage 3 ls6 heads, lookin for a new combo to get some more power out of it.
what power are you making on this setup? i cant wait to do heads with the trex. i was leaning towards the ls3 heads
The Trex wasn't really designed for LS3 heads. It will make power but it will make better power with a cam designed for rectangular port heads. Check into EPS cams. Geoff is the shop owner and he was co-owner of Thunder Racing and he is the guy who devolped the Trex when he was at Thunder. He just recommended a cam for bmw5388 on here that is 230/242 for his 370.
Since you already have ls6 heads, I would look into some aftermarket heads like AFR's or Trickflows.

yeah i bought the car setup as it is, and if i can find a good set of heads to match the trex i will. i dont want to have to change the cam out etc. i love this cam it screams and sounds nasty. i will look into the TFS 215s

Get the 215's if you don't plan on upgrading for quite a while. The 225's might make your 370 a little lazy on the bottom end since you have a 6 speed. if you plan on going bigger later get the 225

Verdad Gallardo thats another good point, i have not decided yet but over winter i may pull it and go 400+c.i.
AFR 205's or Trickflow 215's would be your best bet for a stock cube ls1. The only other thing I might try is a set of Advanced Induction LS6 heads. Their porting program has produced some bad *** results from a stock casting head.
