Well originally I had planned to just do a H/C upgrade on my 346, so I already had the 205s. Well one thing led to another and somehow I ended up ordering a 402... really not sure how it happened even to this day! lol

So I considered selling the 205s and going with 215s. But I talked to Tony before to ask his opinion, and hes had great results with opening up the 205s to the larger bore, and being a DD the under the curve gains of the worked 205s really looked like the way to go. I already ordered the 205s with the lightweight valves so they were close to $3K for the heads, and so I figured with how much I would probably have to eat in order to move them, it was more worthwhile to just use that money to let Tony do his magic on the 205s And believe it, it IS magic... words cant describe the quality of work Tony did on those heads... truly a master of his craft!
