Making presumptions based on a single post is not advisable either. All I was saying is I doubt they perform better than TEA or AI heads. If they cost so much less and are better heads then how come everyone doesn't say go with them? There is a reason TEA and AI price them at what they are priced at, the quality (not to say your heads aren't quality either)of the workmanship and they are proven performance heads and some of their heads actually rival aftermarket ones as well. I never said they weren't good for getting the most for your money.

I understand these guy's fristration and also found KCS amusing because the info is readily available. Too often people just dont put enough effort and the veterans get tirred of answering the same old questions over and over.

with that said AI and TEA do great port work

i found this by literally entering (who ports 243 heads) and (cnc 243 heads)

They are built using GM refurbished cores, so it's an outright price without you sending in any cores.

They can not be ordered without springs.

The price is $549 per head. I don't have any written reviews, no. We have hundreds of these sets out there making great power without issues. I run them on two of my own vehicles.
