^ TFS has a smaller valve angle. 13.5*, IIRC. Stock is 15*... IIRC. This allows you to run a slightly more aggressive cam without having to worry as much about piston to valve clearance.

TFS also has some powerful mid to low lift flow numbers. THAT is where the money is. Both are, still, very good heads.

Both of those heads are great choices. Have you considered the Prc cnc 215 heads. They are also close in price and definetly perform well.

^ Those flow numbers on those heads surprised the **** outta me!

I agree that they're right up there, as well.
