Not really a fair fight between a ported GM casting and the TFS 225's, IMO....the PRC 5.3's do tow the line very well and make great power for a great price though! But if you really want a fair comparison, the PRC 227's should be rolled into the equation against the TFS heads

If you have 59cc heads with a stock 0.051 gasket right now your compression is 11.7:1. You should be running 93 octane. This is assuming the pistons have a zero deck height which probably isn't the case. They probably stick .010 out of the hole so you compression is actually closer to 12.0:1.

true, but I thought stock gaskets are .054 to .060" makes a diff. you got lots of compression already. I have seen the prc 227 make 500 rwhp on a ls2 and a fine tune.

Stock 6.0/6.2 3 layer and 5 layer are 0.051.

I would go with a minimum a set of AFR heads. Otherwise a set of the Mast Motorsports 11deg 215cc heads. I'm waiting for a sponsor to have a 10% off anything sale and I'm going to pull the trigger on a set of the mast motorsports heads
