Default thanks TEA!

well, we just returned home from bowling green, got right at 30mpg, and car performed excellent. TEA did a littl e head work on their 6.0 head for me along with putting on my new kooks headers and x pipe and some tuning. put down 523 rwhp with 3.90 gear, all belts, and full exhaust with my iron block 422 stroker. As always, a pleasure to deal with Brian Tooley and Brent Lightfoot. Thaniks guys for delivering for me. just wonder what a nasty solid roller cam would do in this sucker!!!!!! joe in memphis

I drove my 447 home from NJ and got over 30 mpg. Its amazing the mpg these big engines get in cruise mode. I was totally shocked. TEA makes some killer heads.

Pdd0000,

I just had a thought... the reason you might have been at 430 rwhp before is probably becasue your magnaflows were the resriction maybe if you went to stingers you could gain about 10 rwhp... Now im not saying rip out the magnaflows and throw in borla stingers, but i am just making a theory on what i think is robbing you of power... If i were you i would do more research on it... But im not, so stick with whatever makes you happy

Congrats with the MPG and heads
