Call Texas Speed and buy a set of PRC heads. Great heads for a great price.

Send your 243 heads to TEA or Livernois Motorsports..

I would no doubt take PRC, TEA, AFR over Patriots.

Patriots are hit or miss, Trick Flow move the valve angle down from 15 to 13.5, AFR's, TEA's are all good heads its your choice if your still stock displacement dont get anything over 215s

How bad are yours warped? Take them to a machine shop and see if you can mill them and get them ported should save you $$, port jobs run from 550-750 and you can see similar hp gains, I had a set of 241s race ported and they flow better than a set of CNC'd ones, food for thought!

Thanks for the referrals, everyone! Give us a call and we get you setup on some new PRC ported heads. We also offer great pricing on porting many of the castings available, so you could potentially send us yours and have them ported to save some $$!
