I'm not sure exactly what you are saying here, but I have those heads, and for the money I am very happy with them

I wanted to send in my heads as cores to save a little money and they quoted me the same price as if I just bought them, which seemed odd to me. But yes they are good heads for the money.

what head casting do you have ?TSP starts with new head castings.the cost to rebuild used heads is more then new castings.used 241 heads are worth $100,used 853 heads are worth lees .how much dose it cost you to ship your heads to TSP ?I say sell you heads local and save the shipping cost.

I gained 38rwhp and 30rwtq from these heads alone. I'm impressed with them to say the least.

True, I did not think about the shipping, but for a few more dollars I can get the 225 as cast. I'm trying to stay in the budget I set for myself, but I just may get the 225 as cast,what to do, what to do.

I can afford it and what I have decided to get. I'm going to match it with the StreetSweeper HT cam. Hopefully it will make good power and run some good numbers at the strip.

thanks everyone for the help.

You will need to factor in the cost of roller rockers with the As Cast Trickflows. I'm assuming those are what you are referring to. If so, that's another $600.

I was referring to the TSP 225 as cast heads and I just pulled the trigger on it and the streetsweeper HT cam. Hope it makes some good numbers and runs well at the track.
