Texas-speed heads

Picked up a set of Texas-Speed Ls3 heads ...

PRC LS3 & L92 CNC Ported Heads,

When all the pieces fall together this car is going to be a lot of fun, actually more fun.

Nice heads, I have used a few of PRC heads with nice results . Now you need a FAST 102 and port that 90mm tb

Make sure that you buy some ARP bolts as the GM bolts are stretch yeild, and therefore one time use only . I would also get a set of the Cometic head gaskets .

I was thinking the same thing about the bolts and head gaskets. The fast 102 intake is a little large for my set-up. So I've ordered a ported intake and throttlebody from a company called Vmax in Florida (I had an earlier post with the link to Vmax). My cam will be in this week, so I'm getting excited. The guy who's installing everything, said I should be comfortably around the 11.80's when its all said and done. Can't wait.

Looks like your going to have a very fast setup when done, good luck.
Go with the ARP bolts they are the best out there and a good gasket.

How much RWHP did they figure you will get out of her with the stock cam?

Full works... I'm getting it dyno'd because I want to see the pre and post work numbers... As for the cam he won't give out the specs, it's custom grind, personally i want to know, but he doesn't want them out there...Can't wait ...

I'm not using the stock cam, however I've see dyno's that have shown a 09 c6 do over 350 RWHP, with the highest being 409 RWHP, which is a little hard to believe. I've been told that 360 to 380 RWHP is very plausible... And those number would make sense given that the gross hp for the ls3 is 430, so if you if you factor in, an automatic, which I have, the loss through the drive train could be as high as 50 hp... If i'm between 370 to 380 RWHP as a starting point, I'll be very pleased....
