Most people do not lose there flow sheet for there heads. I would want solid proof of what they did on the bench and what they are. I got screwed on a set of used heads I got on this board. And for that price.... You could get some real nice NEW ones.

Would 2.08 valves really cause that much trouble to have to flycut?Im just asking because we installed them on his ride with a little bigger cam and no problems would i gain any power from these to make it worth the swap?

I had mocked up UNmilled MTI stg2e (2.02 valve) heads, stock .060 gasket, and the X1 on a 112. I clayed and had less than .040" clearance on the intake valve. Needless to say I didn't run that combo. The X1 is tight.
YMMV but whatever you do... check your clearance before you crank it up.
