03 z06...looking to either port and polish factory 243s or get BTR trick flow 220s (twice the price)...thoughts? Car currently has btr stage 4 cam, longtubes, b&b exhaust, vararam intake. I still have a fast 102 and nick williams 102 to put on as well.

i will also be spraying a 100-150 shot depending if i go standalone fuel system or not.

I'm a big fan of the mast small bore heads.... 11* valve angle is hard to argue with and Im a bit biased.. Cary Choinard and I went to high school together. LOL!

Buddy just purchased a pkg deal, new in boxes, lifters gaskets whatnot, vengance ported 92, ls2 tb ,prc 225 heads and ms4 cam, not a fan of the ms4 lobes valve events are cool tho. Gonna try to sell the cam then get a custom grind around the ms4/btr4/streetsweeper/polluter. Building a iron 370" 6.0 around 11.5-8 compression. Excited

Not 243s but had AI do my 241s, put down 456/420 on a dyno jet with a fast 92, 1 3/4 headers(catted) and a 223/235 113 cam. Id send the 243 to AI. I think if I ported the ls2 TB, fast and decatted id pick up 10-15 as well, I think that is some hella good port work IMO.
