Texas Speed PRC Cylinder Heads Issue
I installed a set of PRC Cylinder head on my Camaro Zl1 with 2650 Blower + Cam and other goodies. The car gained Hp but the heads did not last long and start consuming coolant. After removing the heads one of then cracked internally near the bolt area + both heads showed cracks between the valves basically in all..
Thus I am back with the OEM heads that have been abused for 33,000 miles with no issues, no cracks or anything. BTW: The vendor TSP initially responded and offer to replace the damage head. They also indicating that are working in a better design. But after sending the cylinder head to then and over 2 month waiting it has been very difficult the communication and I starting to believe I lost the $4000.00 Has anyone has experience with this vendor and warranties? |

The PRC/TSP Heads are made in house. Never had an issue with the heads so far nor any TSP product.

Not the first time I’ve heard of that with the PRC castings and one of the reasons I went with Mast instead. On an aftermarket casting that shouldn’t be happening at all, they usually have a good amount more meat in them vs stock castings.

PRC/TSP has gone through some in house changes lately regarding this issue, and have not had any issues that I am aware of with the LT4 heads. They sell a ton of these heads and there is normally is a 3-4 week waiting period for them after you purchase them.
Black Mast heads are great/tops but they are very pricey.
