Notes About Air Conditioning Brackets Oil Dipstick Tubes Stage 2, 3 4 series heads do not incorporate the rear attaching point used on the original air conditioning lower bracket. This is the one located at the #2 exhaust port. Fairly simple modification of the lower A/C bracket will be required. Due to the different exhaust side and header design used with Stage 2,3 4 heads, an original oil dipstick and tube will need to be modified to work or use our TA 1500B dipstick tube kit. Either version requires the bracket to be positioned then brazed to the tube. PRICING Assembled $2550.00 Bare Castings $1495.00 Intake Exhaust Again, as with the Stage 1 TE heads, we have incorporated the Stage 3 intake runner into the Stage 2 heads, producing one of the most powerful cylinder heads in the performance market. When the oversized intake valve is used in conjunction with the superior exhaust runner of the Stage 2, horsepower gains are very impressive out of the box, and phenomenal when fully ported. These heads were bred on the track but are also the perfect head for the ultimate street/strip combination. Track Eliminator Series Heads with the oversized intake valves and porting have flowed almost 380 CFM at high lift and an amazing 340 CFM at .500 ! Stage 2 exhaust ports can be ported to 260+ CFM. Please inquire about these incredible upgrades. TE heads require a raised runner intake manifold from our SP-2 series. Use of these heads does require Stage 2 style headers. Headers or manifolds used on Standard, Stage 1 or TAs Stage 1 aluminum heads will not work. You will also need to use TA 1136 head studs or TA 1131 head bolts. On 10:1 Compression engines out of the box performance is usually 70+ HP. These heads can support pump gas combinations up to 700+ HP and race combinations up to 900+ HP. Stage 2 TE Primary Use: When the ultimate street/strip combination is desired When Hood clearance is not an issue When the purchase of headers and an intake are not an issue Stage 2 Track Eliminator (TE) Port Configurations Perfect Match For Stroker Engines! Due to the airflow potential of these heads with porting and oversized valves, this head is ideal for stroker combinations where the engine will demand considerably more air. These heads flow the additional air required by large displacement engines through the entire RPM range, not just top end!
