Heads are back from TEA. NICE!
Heads are back from TEA. NICE! One step closer to a hell of a spring build. These arrived monday and they were waiting in my room today when i got home from location.
TEA Stg 1 CNC 241's with lunati springs set per Martin@Tick specs for my custom Tick Cam. About 1175 shipped to my door. I'd post pics but you know what heads look like. they are gorgeous!
Flow:
.100 - 67.4 - 55.0
.200 - 137.3 - 110.2
.300 - 203.9 - 157.2
.400 - 245.8 - 202.3
.500 - 279.7 - 233.9
.550 - 283.9 - 243.8
.600 - 290.8 - 250.5
Greg was awesome to deal with and Martin & Greg were in communication directly regarding any specifics throughout the process to make sure the heads and cam were matched. They met the quoted 3wk turnaround with ease. I can't wait to get this combo together. it should RIP!

TEA does some nice work !!! I'd be curious to see what Martin comes up with
for valve events given those heads now have about a 90% exhaust to intake
flow ratio. You definitely picked some of the best people for the hard parts....
now with a good tuner that combo should work well together.

Im running the 862 castings myself. Once you get them ported and polished and with bigger intake valves they do do really good for the money. Plus they give a nice bump in compression
yea but around here if you don't run a stock casting for the car people say its heads and cam even if it is a 243. Its not stock for your car. Hence why a HCR 241 from AI would be ****. The full sleeper effect.
Yea man. Around here guys use any little thing to get you to GIVE them something because unless they have some sort of advantage they act scared to get their car to the starting line. LOL So I like to be like hey look. Stock 241s. Cam only Which right now I really am cam only but later on who knows!
I looked at the HCR's myself. However TEA is 3hrs from my house and AI is a few states away. Made my decision pretty easy considering i can drop off whatever i need.
The Work itself is a tossup either way. you can't go wrong with EITHER head. for stock castings BOTH places do amazing work! Based on my customer service experience however i would go with TEA. Greg @ TEA and Martin @ Tick made this process completely painless from start to finish.

No problem David!
I always enjoy working closely with the guys at TEA because they are after repeatability, customer service and performance bar none. I've had good results from certain cylinder head shops one time, then get crap results the next three. That just doesn't work for my customers who are spending their hard earned money and trust me to give them the best information to make an informed decision based upon information I give them. When we have to base our assumptions and recommendations off past performances, I can say with a definite answer each time that if it comes from TEA the result will be out of this world as always.
Those guys put up with my nit picking on spring kits and if any of you ever work with me or Gregg you'll know how picky I can be!

ive been doing constant research on where to buy parts for my c5 and so far i dont think i have a bad deal ever with TEA or Tick. i can almost guarantee they will get my business in the very near future.
