The 2.5 5.3's were said to be flowing 317 on the intake. Very nice.

Unmilled 5.3's here, 63cc chambers 10.7:1.. probably a little less than that, I had flycut my pistons a while back.

Those are great numbers for such a smallish cam, and the torque is awesome.

Track times are a must! Any pics of the ports on these heads? And what is the intake port volume?

LOL.. you should drive it on the street with that much torque and the 4.10's I gave a couple of local guys that are on the board a ride in it this past weekend.. maybe they'll post up about the way it ran.

I was rushed installing the heads so I didn't take pics of them, but Terry can make a few of some heads he has. As far as runner volume goes, I was under the impression that they were 215cc range, but don't hold me to that.. Terry can clarify that for sure.

Yes, the torque is crazy. I drove it a few days ago and actually had my adrenaline pumping (been a long time since my cars done that). The car feels like pure power. Very street friendly as well. Don't be fooled by the numbers, that car feels a lot stronger than just 451rwhp . As soon as i do my cam swap I'm going with these heads

Also, do you use a super 7 style locker?

Awesome heads Terry. Does that conflict with the sale of Patriots? I'm not surfing as much as I used to. Do you have two businesses?

The car is FAST!!!! It's sick! Fastest car I have ever ridden in and that was with the cut-out closed losing about 20 RWHP. I have never been that surprised by brute acceleration! Me -->

p.s. Thanks, Scott. Now my T/A seems slow again.

Yea, I just found out. I guess I only surf when I have money because every time I get on here I see something else better than ever to go faster cheaper!!!! I wish you the best, I'm sure you're somewhat in a tacky kind of situation but apparently as I posted on another relative post, the power goes where you are!!! Too bad you can use 5.7 heads as cores.
