Default Put my current heads on my Z71?

I have some TEA S2 5.7 heads, and am considering upgrading to something that flows better. My truck is a 2002 Z71 5.3, I am thinking about putting my TEA heads on the truck, with a "baby" cam, maybe something like 218/218, 220/220, etc. What do you think? Probably make a huge difference, no?

Unless they 5.7 heads are milled you will loose compression. You will still make far more power with them.

You will now have to change your sig... lol.

Spanky - Run the Felpro 1041 head gaskets. They have a smaller compressed thickness, increasing compression and should be good for squish.

Also, I have a "baby" 218 218 .563 114 +2 cam if you want it. I think I'm going with FI friendly cam.
