its not always about peak flow #s, look at the midrange #s also, which is what really helps make a good setup not always the peak #. Ive talked to Brian@TEA several times and had Jason at TSP tune my car and seen their facilities first hand. I personally woulnt hesitate to let either one of them do a set of heads for me, itd just be personal choice.

Hey I got my results from my setup, Im real happy with it. I have more to be gained also, but for a $400 set of heads with a little work I can't complain.

Ya I did the valve job, I used grinding stones and ground them to the proper angles. O'neil's custom engines did the milling, but they are in Spokane, WA. Here is what I did

I totally agree. However I have never seen a head flow less at.650 than .600 before. Kind of odd.
