PRC 225 "as cast heads" Feedback? Hello, as the title states! I searched the forum and the web and still haven't found a lot of info on these heads? I know there are a ton I people running them, just looking for some INTEL on them!
How much rwhp do you think they would make?with this set up:
2005 Gto m6
Stock ls2 short block
233/239 cam on a 111 lsa
225 heads
Fast 102
1-3/4 arh
UDP
Ported 90 tb
Hendrix power chamber
46lb inj

I gave these heads strong consideration before going with the PRC Stage 1 CNC'd LS6 heads (doing my own BTR spring upgrade) with very similar mods to yours on an LS1.
The obvious advantage of getting the as-cast heads is the room for growth they offer if you ever choose to send them back to be CNC'd.

I wonder why TSP has such low exhaust flow numbers on all of the heads they offer? That's why i was leaning towards TEA or Trick Flow as cast 220's done up by Tooley.

How does "no pipe" vs a pipe or other setup affect the flow numbers ?
Does one tend to "inflate" the numbers ?

Flow numbers don't mean much. If shops would publish their wet flow numbers, that'd be a better gauge.
Either way, it's really hard to compare flow numbers across vendors. The fixture, flow machine, and how the test is conducted can all change the characteristics of the flow pretty significantly and make comparing heads by CFM pretty worthless.
