Default New heads..Good?

Hey folks, i bought some 241 heads that were done up. I really dont know how good of valves i have by size. I measure with a tape can someone translate. The intake valves were around 2 and 1/16. The exhaust was around 1 and 5/8. I really dont know about intake runner size so it measures 1 and 1/8 wide and 3 and 1/4 long. I was told these heads flow super good, all brand new, duel springs and all. Someone please shine some light. Thanks

Unfortunately, when the stock valves were 2.00" and the most common aftermarket are 2.02" (intake side), it'd be hard to use a tape to see what you have. if you have a Harbor Freight nearby, they usually have about $20 dial calipers that can be trusted to the hundredth (I don't trust them to the thousandth personally). Those would be sufficient to check valve size, measure port entrance dimensions, etc.

Well hopefully they are good, i got them bundled with a new torquer v2 camshaft for 1000. How much realistic power should that give to the rear wheels on a 01 ss camaro 6spd. headers, ypipe, exhaust, racetronix fuel system with harness, tune, fipk intake.

In for results!...
Im removing my stock 241's with TSP behive springs, valve seals, retainers and locks. And replacing them with some 5.3, CnC done by TSP.
If you get some good results please let us know, might do some PnP and sell the 241's at a cheap price.
