What stage should I do if I go with TEA. I was looking at stage II. Plus what cam would go with these heads.

TEA's stage 2s have some serious midlift flow, which would make excellent power for street car.

TEA still open?

good luck with TEA. I called and left a message over a week ago. Also emailed them. NO RESPONSE. Tried to call several times throughout the week they never answer the phone! Nice!

TEA is a very busy shop they do great work and everyone is after them one of the reasons I went with AI, also the cam I got was an Ed Curtis cam and I found out they do A LOT of work together matching heads and cams so I chose AI. I can say this any one I know who has had their heads done by AI has never been disappointed and the customer service bar none. You do not get second hand emails, the guys running the show answer every email sent to them personally.

As a matter of fact I supplied them with valves, springs, retainers and locks, and their stage I which I am running only came out to $1085!

Larry Meaux @ Meaux Racing Heads. He is probably the best in the world with a 243 casting. Look at Pro-Filer also. Darin Morgan is doing the design over there. Also one of the best in the world.
