HELP!! Which Heads and Who can Deliver? ... Update
Ok ... I have the opportunity to install a set of heads, no charges for install or any of the other ancillary parts, just supply the heads ... but I have to have the heads in my possesion by next Thursday or the stock heads will go back on the car <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
I was banking on a set of GMPP CNC LS6 heads, but I've been jerked around on delivery dates for a month now <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> ... so it's do or die time.
For the price range that I'm looking at, it appears to be either TEA or Absolute Speed.
First and most importantly, who has any experience with either of these vendors and can they ship out a set of head in such a time frame? And yes, I'm willing to work with expedited shipping fees.
Second, which of these will work best with my set up? ... GM Hot Cam, Crane 1.8 rockers, full bolt on A-4. I'm really thinking it's a toss up - though TEA's actual numbers seem to be better than there own published numbers.
If someone has a third alternative, I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks ... M

For the price and a good budget, go with Absolute Speed. He does a great set of heads for a good price. Me I have MTI and love them, but for 2900.00. Good Luck!

Absolute Speed does a great job, but Jay usually custom ports every set of heads after he has received the cores. I don't think he has an inventory of heads sitting on his shelf. Best to just call him & see.
I've also seen several sets of heads advertised in the Classified forums, both here & at LS1.COM. At least one of these heads were Absolute Speed Stage 2's, never installed. The seller should be able to get them to you next week by next-day air, even during the XMAS season.

I believe ARE has a few sets of Stage 1 heads sitting on the shelf ready to ship and I believe their pricing would fit right into your price range. Drop me an email if interested in any more information on them.
