Default PRC 237cc Heads

Looking for people running the PRC 237 heads and their results and combos.
Did a lot of searching, but a lot of the threads are older and still very little info to be found.

So having said that these will be going on a 408 stroker

Also, if TSP chimes in what would the PRC 237 heads cost WITHOUT valvesprings?

Get the TFS heads with turned down LS3 valves. End of story.

If you've followed any of Chrs1313 on his quest for 520rwhp stock 346, you know he picked up like 20rwhp going to the LS3 valves in his TFS 215s.

That exhaust is holding that car back pretty bad. I know PatG can dial it in a bit more, but I bet if you went with true duals you'd pick up close to 20/15 across the board. Then that'd look better for the parts you have (~530/470).

I just got done talking to Matt @ TSP and we believe with me only turning 6600 tops the stock valves should be fine and I can use the prc .650 springs I already have, saving me quite a few $$'s over the TFS.

Also I hope with a lot more cubes (408) im hoping for 500/500+

I'd like to think here that ive got a very well rounded thought out setup and should be capable of doing more than my goal, or at least I sure hope so!
