I just bought a NASTY set of heads. The CASTINGS ARE NEW AND 1 OF A KIND FOR Z06 EXTENSIVE CNC WORK, RAISED RUNNER 2.05 X 160 VALVE SIZE, CUSTOM EPOXY WORK, 232 INTAKE RUNNERS, CAST # 243. THESE HEADS HAVE STAGE 4 PORTING. T.E.A. BUILT THESE HEADS TO GO ON THE OWNERS CAR. SEATS AND GUIDES ARE INSTALLED, 72 CC CHAMBERS FOR A 3.900 BORE, LSX OR WEIAND INTAKES ARE COMPATIBLE WITH THESE HEADS. EXHAUST CC IS 287 EXHAUST FLOWS. INTAKE FLOW # ARE ..700 LIFT 346.3 .600-- 341.4 .500-- 306.5 .300---208.6.. I'm not 100% positive on these flow numbers, but they are very close to the actual numbers. Those are just what I was told. No flow sheets. They are bare castings and will still require valves and valve springs. They're BRAND NEW.
I have decided to go a different route..They're tooo much for me. So no need for them.. $2000 takes it...

These are Brian Tooleys raised runner heads? If they are they are some whoopass heads. We did a set of these heads and a local put them on a stock bottom Z06 motor with a big cam. Intake was port matched...the valves were swapped at the last minute for some 2.02s..so they werent ideal as they should have been. But they still made 472 rwhp on a 10.5 to 1 compression 346.
These heads should be as good or better.

Chambers this big will probably not allow enough milling required to get the CR high enough for a NA motor. Sounds like an awesome head for high hp/tq in a FI application though. Too bad I want all motor.

TEA said that they could be milled to run on a N/A setup. I am no expert, but that's just what they said. You should talk to TEA, and maybe you will change your mind. I don't want that thought keeping you from buying these great heads.

The only issue I see is milling down to a chamber size around 61-62cc will weaken the head. Leaving it a more comfortable 65 or 66cc will not bring the compression high enough (11.0:1 or higher) so as not to leave hp on the table. A stage 2.5 (or 3 at the max) LS6 head would probably fit the bill better. As I said, your heads would be perfect for FI.
