799 port/polish/mill
799 port/polish/mill I have a set of 799 heads i got for $100. My question is, is i want something along the lines of stage 2/2.5 work done on them. I see TEA is highly recommended. I dont want to start a war here, as there are other threads similar.. but I want to know of a place to send them off to, that isn't going to cost me over $2000. I will have the summit ghost cam soon. I already have a 3400-3600 stall and 1 7/8 headers with 3" ORY. I will also be doing a FAST intake or possibly the Ls6 with 90mm snout mod to keep stock appearance. Thanks.

Hello, full-disclosure for those that don't know already, but TEA is a part of TFS - which is part of Summit Racing, Before I started with Summit, I had them run the 2.0 program through my LS6 heads along with cut-down LS3 valves to save weight. I was very pleased with the attention to detail and they performed very well. They held up under amazing abuse and were only taken out of commission by a chunk of errant piston ring land. The guy that assembles heads is very fastidious and has been with the company for a long time. Their bowl work and competition valve job alone is better than some other folk's (not Texas Speed's) full port job. Throw in the cleanliness, top-quality valvetrain components, and head milling and it's the best deal out there for quality work. T.E.A. remains my go-to with what I know about their operation.

I stand by my initial thought. If you're going to spend the money for TEA ported heads, just get a good as cast aftermarket head like the PRC 225s or TFS 220s. If you sell those 799s you'll probably even save money.
