Default TF 215 on LS2

Okay guys so I just bought a C6 vette ls2. I came from a rx7 ls1 swap. From it I have the TrickFlow 515 top end kit for the ls1. Since I'm moving to the ls2 how would these 215's perform on the ls2 with a say a g6x3. I've heard the short runners will help with low end power. But how will this effect top end. Going to be a daily street car with go fast parts.


P.s. I have searchd the forum and found very little info on this. Mostly all TF 225 info (which would be my choice if I didn't have the 215's already, maybe future I'll try and get the bigger 225)

If you were going with a smaller cam I'd stay with the 215s, but since you're not, I'd go with the 225s

What about stock vs 215? Is it an obvious winner like I think it is

The 215 will beat the stock 243 head, but I feel your cam selection is off for those heads on an LS2. I'd sell the TF heads, like $1800, unless new, and buy the bigger heads.
