Default head critique

i'v been looking at tea and tsp. but i'm not sure if i should trust these heads. from what i hear they are knock off brands. yes for the price i am willing to pay these prices before i go and pay the others. what are your guy's opinions on these heads? are there any others that would be worth looking at? i mean i want to get what i pay for. i called a speed shop and they gave me huge quote and they said that these heads are crappy? i'm not going to side with this speed shop.

heads from both tea and tsp are proven. The shop is probably trying to rip you off....

looking at the flow spects it looks like the Tea ls1 stage 2 are the ones to go with over tsp 220cc. stage 2.5. becasuse the lift for the tea is at .600" intake 317 exhaust 254.7. and the tsp lift is at .600 intake 312 exhuast 231. what do you guys think?

I think you cant go wrong with either one but which head comes with a better spring package is what should concern you at ths point. The speed shop you spoke to was just tyring to sell you their product. These are not knock off heads they are genuine gm casting ported and polished by someone who has been doing ls1 heads for a while.

WOW if someone told you that TSP heads were knock-offs, they didnt know what they were talking about. As stated above, TSP's they are GM castings that are CNC'd. And awesome at that. On top of a great product, TSP has the best customer service.
