They are ported stock castings. They run their 265cc program on them for us

Thanks for posting!

Out of curiosity, did you have the valve guides on your original LS7 inspected?

No since I already made up my mind that I will be getting this upgrade and the SS exhaust valves. That new GM TSB made the mind up for me. I was thinking GM would step up, but the TSB was a HUGE let down and I pulled the trigger.

Thanks Dan! Your car fell right in power range we expected and it will be a huge difference for you with minimal compromises.

Nice work ! That car should be a blast to drive on and off the track !
I would much rather have a cam that size with good street mannors then 600 rwhp and a regular pain in the ***.

Enjoy

Everybody has a tipping point, a watershed moment.

For me, it was coming to the realization that if I wanted to make it into 10 second territory, I was going to eventually end up busting something trying to do it stock, and in addition to that, my aftermarket warranty was not going to cover it.

Congrats again on the build.

So these are stock castings that Texas Speed did the work on?

When I came to the decision to have my heads done, they were one of the companies I spent a good deal of time on the phone with, as I was going to have them do my stock heads with bronze valve guides and SS valves.

Ultimately, I went in a different direction, but I am glad to see that you have strengthened your top end, and I added you to the listing.
