Head and Cam question
I have an 08 c6 auto. Im looking at getting some heads and a cam within the next two months.
current mods
vararam
lg superpro 1 3/4 headers
lg gt4 catback
fast 102 and NW tb
car makes 414rwhp 410rwtq
I am looking at the TEA stage 2 ported and polished LS3 heads, does anyone have any expierence with them?
Also with heads how big of a cam would i have to go to see 500rwhp?
Being streetable is more importatnt to me then peek numbers, so if 500 is not attainable accept by a big cam, i would rather have a smaller more streetable one
any help is appriciated.

We offer CNC ported LS3 heads as well and can even port your castings to help save you a couple bucks. We offer valve options for factory, aftermarket stainless, and aftermarket hollow-stem valves. We can also install springs and mill the heads to whatever specs you like. We have LS3 camshafts on the shelf as well to meet whatever goals you have in mind. Keep in mind for an auto, you will need a converter to run a healthy camshaft to supply the power you are looking for. Let me know if we can help. We'd be happy to chat about your build.

Here is a good read on ported LS3 heads, this is a very large engine though.
