I also hope this guy at least posts up some results. I was actually considering these heads a while ago but decided to get a set of 243's instead. I was following this thread to see if I was missing anything.

To the other husband/wife duo in this thread. Take it friggin easy! I have never witnessed on the interwebs two people trying to "force" their will on individuals spending their hard earned money how they choose to your level. I think we all understand you tested some heads and posted some results. I'm sure others feel the same way, but when it comes to spending my cheese no one but myself makes the decision what I buy.To be honest, just going by how you both have acted in this thread, I wouldnt throw two cents at your company for performance parts no matter how much racing experience you have gained in 45 years. You professionalism alone would not make me avoid your business like the plague. I feel like I would walk into your store asking for item A and I would leave spending twice as much as I intended, leaving like a dog with its tail between its legs, and getting the complete opposite of what I wanted item B all the while you are grinning ear to ear counting the bills thinking "got another one".

Did you read thompson's response on the heads. Thats how a professional business puts out information. Short sweet to the point without insulting neither the company nor the person requesting the information. As a buyer looking for information what they said stuck the most to me:

"The 2 we tested on were exactly what we expected, a $600 pair of heads.
YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. I do not know if these are the same heads we tested with certainty, just be careful. If you do not have the money to throw away you might want to look for something that is known good"

Thats all you needed to say.

buying 18 heads is a substantial R&D attempt and finding just 2 useable says the useable parts were the accident rather than the rule

x2!!!

But if you missed it on 4-20, belated relaxation requires consumption of TWO bowls for maximum chilling effect.

I came back on to see if this gentleman ever got back to the rest of you with some results. I'm actually curious myself to see what his numbers are. Maybe he got lucky...

However, I see I must also defend myself and my company. And please notice, I said MY company.

niscur29, I respectfully ask you to please go back and read MY comments to HarshReality. I feel I was professional in my responses, and actually wished the poster well with his results. The only thing I tried to do was to get him to understand that I, as a dealer, am privy to information that he is not aware of or told as an end user or a customer. I am also able to get merchandise that isn't necessarily available to the general public.

It was only after the overuse of the word 'bro' and his insulting 'wifey' comments, that I got agitated, wished him luck, and stopped posting here.

I take complete offense at your remarks that I, or my company, would take advantage of my customers in any way. I only sell my customers what they want, for far less than what they expect to pay for them. My posting in this thread was an attempt to stop someone from making a mistake. As you stated, you yourself decide how you spend your money, and I assume you do that with research and advice from others. Exactly what took place here.

So before you go posting on an open forum derogatory remarks about me personally, or MY company, one that you have never done business with, I would suggest you rethink your approach.

At this point, I already know the quality of this product and am no longer a dealer. I hope for the gentleman's sake that nothing happened to him and there is a logical reason why he hasn't come back to post. I again will wish him well with his results, too. Maybe he did get lucky, but I have definitely moved on from this thread.

many many people post looking for blind praise and NOTHING but blind praise. He wasn't told blindly he was making the best choice ever.

Too many non-sponsor links in this thread. It has lived out it's life. Contact AI, TSP, MAST, AFR or TFS if you want an awesome set of heads from a supporting board vendor. This thread is done.
