Given those two choices, I would go with TEA, but I would also look into AS. IMO, you can't go wrong with either one (TEA or AS). Research before you buy, alot of good info is available. Talk to Brian at TEA or Jay at AS, tell them your expectations/goals, and they will both steer you in the right direction and help you reach your goals.....
Good luck, Shawn

TEA.... but that's just me.....I believe in his(Brian's)product/commitment. If you can't wait for the shipping, possibly you and he could work out an arrangement of some sort. You send back the cores when you recieve the new heads, and he credits back your card when he gets them?
I know from personal experience, Brian will bend over backwards to help a customer, and that's the type of person/co. that will get my repeat business.
As mentioned.....his heads ain't bad either

If I had to choose between the two, I would go with TEA no question about it. Great guys to deal with, Brent is very helpful. I'm not just saying this because thier heads are in my sig either.

What about JPR??? lol just kidding, I would also vote for TEA or Absolute heads.
Sometimes the vendors will work with you on the core charges. You should call TEA and ask them if they can let you leave the heads on the car and promise to send your heads by a certain date or else they can charge your credit card. You never know its worth a try.
