he is a 2002

so he has 241s....but the 241s are basically 853s ..there were small changes between them such as casting process ..but any change in flow numbers between the two would not = power...at least noticeable

he needs 243s at least

beat me to it

If 853 is 98-00, and the 02s are outfitted with 241s, my assumption would be that the 01s came with 241s as well....

So my question is what were the 243s outfitted on?

243s are mounted on the ls6 (very sought after for the valves)
on the ls2
and on the ls4

this is just off the top of my head there may be more

Hmmmm. Let's see. 241's were standard on 02's. My car is an 02. Just found out final numbers are less than 380.

**Z28boy2000** · 06-04-2010, 12:10 PM

still close to 380 isnt bad! when you can easily beat half the cars on the road in a race who cares what kind of #'s youve got....the track will put a smile on your face thats for sure

Throw some real heads on there and enjoy 400+

**Speed_kills_WS6** · 06-04-2010, 04:53 PM

You guys are gonna laugh when you see the dyno sheet. I picked up a whopping 10 ft/lbs. of torque. Didn't add any horsepower till after 4k rpm.

**Z28boy2000** · 06-04-2010, 08:52 PM

How good is your tuner?

I keep hearing that you cam swap is only as good as your tuner...

**Speed_kills_WS6** · 06-05-2010, 03:58 PM

Obviously, the tuner is not very good...

**derbs** · 06-05-2010, 06:24 PM

I better be over that when I do my tq v3 in the gto I'll be running a set of 243s and 42# injectors with the stock ls6 intake. already have full bolt ons.

**Speed_kills_WS6** · 06-05-2010, 06:39 PM

I think I was sent something other than the torquer... Maybe the LS6 stock cam? lol

**derbs** · 06-05-2010, 06:44 PM

lol hope you figure everything out I haven't seen many numbers for the v3. I may have to get a different cam if I'm not able to break 400rwhp

**Speed_kills_WS6** · 06-05-2010, 10:47 PM

I think its the tune myself. The car surges more now than it did before the tune. It was decent when I dropped it off. Pick it up and it seems worse. Not to mention there's a whine when I have my foot on the gas. Only when I'm moving, very loud in fifth gear.

**xmarkx** · 06-06-2010, 02:34 PM

only 98s got the crap heads. 99-00 have 853s which aren't much better but at least are center bolt. I think the 241s started in 01 but I can't remember now

853 97-00 the only difference between the 98 heads and the 99-00 is the valve cover bolt pattern..this was a last second thing due to failure to get the center bolt style approved in time.

the 241s were for 01 models so some of the later 00s had them.

take it to a competent tuner and enjoy

Be interested to see what happens if you get it tuned by somebody else. I had my TR 230 cam put in a couple of weeks ago and put down 376 with the mods in my sig.
