I saw 212cc, 215cc, and 245cc. Somewhere he mentioned on his website that he sells cncd set for those in a hurry, but preferred to one-off the heads per individual customer. Similar to fti.

I told Brett my plans with the car and what my goals were. He could have sold me a tfs head, aft, all pro, whatever he wanted but didn't. After talking to him I was convinced a stock casting is what I wanted. He does the head specifically for your build. Brett is awesome to work with and takes your build and makes it hos own to speak. Awesome guy with a vast knowledge of the lsx.

So OP, I assume he did up the stage 3 port job for you then? I'm looking forward to seeing how this all turns out for you. Have you talked to Brett about the TRex cam and if so, what are his thoughts? What are your goals?

Brett said since it's already in there you might as well use it. Said he would hate to spec me something and it not be what I want. He said to run it and if it doesn't net me the time slip I want then we will spec a cam. I want to go 10.70 sbe. Car weighs just under 3200 without me

Do you know how long he's been doing the dimple porting? On his website, the pictures don't look like the heads he did for you.

I am fairly certain it is a new process he is doing with the dimple porting but he was very confident it would improve the performance. He said the heads he did for me were the highest flowing stage 3 heads he has ever done and mine had stock valves. Give him a call I am sure he can give you all the info.

I was texting Brett today and he said the website is outdated a new one is in the works. If you have any questions feel free to shoot him a email or call.

It makes very little hp on the dyno but it does improve fuel economy...I have done heads with just a cutter no sanding its cheaper to port safer to port and seems to do just as well on the track and dyno.. We are going to be doing some back to back testing on some 3.0 liter porsche stuff.. Here you can see the difference in cutter to sanding from test i have seen this still offers the best result

Head porting really ingrigues me. It's amazing that so much detail goes into it and how the top head porters out there can get every last big of HP and TQ out of a head. It's crazy how they have learned little tricks of the trade along the way to become so good.

Head porters have been telling customers to leave heads rough for years but everyone likes the look of a polished head..

^^yep, if Im not mistaken, when Tooley touches up the TFS heads he leaves a burr finish on them. Makes sense after reading the golfball thing.

As soon as the track opens I will be going. Best ever cam only was 11.39 with a shitty exhaust setup. Since then I have changed the heads, swapped exhaust to 1 7/8" ARH, and added a port matched fast 92/92

Holy crap that's awesome. 250cc intake, trex, and a fast, I predict low to mid 10's all day long.
