Re: I've decided on vortec heads, but I have a few questions (TravMsns)
Here's a link to a copy of the Chevy High Performance build up where they matched the TFS 23 degree heads with a Comp Cams XE268. That article was a big influence in my decision to go with the Trick Flows. Now I just need to get out the credit card and :cool:

bruce,
did the XE268 affect your low end at all, because from looking at the specs it seems to be starting to move up the rpm spectrum for torque and power. but I just wanted to know how your take offs are. Will it still stick you to the seat? Also, how is the idle? lopy? I could defintely live with some lope.

It's better than the stock L-82 cam at sticking me to my seat and sounding cool at a stoplight. A buddy of mine is convinced the car 'shakes' more at idle than it did, which is one way to say it has more lope, I guess.
