You will not be dissapointed with Mike's work. We use him and Phil a lot. In fact I have over 5 sets of TFS on order right now along with two sets of stock castings from him and 3 sets of stock castings at AI right now. We use them both!

That was not a comment based on a single reply but rather a very lengthy history of pushing ignorance.

Comparing flow numbers is like comparing dyno numbers though. Plus TEA stage 2's use bigger valves. Both companies are good options..

Bigger valves with the same flow numbers means less velocity at the throat area. Smaller valve with the same flow means more velocity at the throat area. This normally equates to a higher torque figure which with the proper cam timing equates to a larger horsepower figure and a faster car in general.

Never heard of this. Can anyone offer insight on what to use and why?

Getting ready to assemble my H/C combo soon.

Look inside your intake runners. If they have been ported to the point that you can see the hole for the rocker arm exposed, you have to seal it. You can use RTV ultra black, or like I did, the ARP thread sealer
