That is the company that sells cheap CNC heads on ebay. They utilize a 2.02/ 1.59 valve. There is no core charge shown on the listing but the ad does mention one.
They do not specify the brand of springs used or the Valves. There is also no data on how they achieved there flow numbers either.
They list a 243cc intake and a 95cc exhaust volume... I think that is larger than most if not all of similar heads on the market. I would be leary of them...
I have a set picked them up at there plant in Atlanta huge operation. They are oem cylinder heads. They are CNC ported . You do have to send in or provide cores or they charge you. I had them checked by a local guy and the heads do flow within a few cfm of what they are advertised as mine actually flowed 10-12 cfm more than advertised at .600 lift. Have not run them yet as my car is still being built. But for the $1100ish after core refund I'm pleased.
With reputable places like Katech charging $500 for porting heads, I would pick up a set of 243/799 heads off Facebook marketplace for less than 350 bucks and send them in.

For me having it all assembled plus new valves and .650 lift springs and the bowls being blended already I couldn't justify using katech. Plus I've had excellent customer service from allied over the last 15+ years on their remanufactured heads.
I wouldn't mess with them. They have a poor rep with BBB, and have a trail of complaints a mile long.
They repair and rebuild, but do not do porting.
I don't know why you would make up lies. We have ZERO complaints on the BBB. How do you determine a mile long? Make you feel good to slander a company with no evidence. We are not perfect but we do all out own work inhouse including 5 axis CNC porting. You must have confused us with someone else I'm assuming? Dirk Wagy President

G's comment maybe based on the 1 star ratings by the two customer reviews posted not the BBB A+ rating. Hopefully, he'll reply.
My understanding is as long as the business responds it's possible to keep an excellent BBB rating regardless of if the customers are satisfied or happy.
The two customers that posted their experience don't seem happy. No idea of any of this beyond what I read on BBB site. So I don't know if their gripes are legitimate but it is clear they were not happy with Allied.
BtW - the Wade B that wrote the review isn't me. I have no dog in this. However, I do support site vendors like Total Engine Airflow when buying cylinder heads normally. Likewise the other excellent sponsors like Texas Speed and so on.

Even if those 2 customers are legit its still comical to his slander. We have been in business for over 20 years. Google, Facebook and eBay reviews are 4.5,4.6 and 99.3 respectfully. We selling upwards of 1200 heads per month and 2 complaints on the BBB and the few online are not a mile long. I understand yall support the big boys but it does not mean other cant and don't do quality work.
Look TEA has a 226 intake runner program on 243 heads that flow as good at .600 and .650 lift as the Trickflow 215 GenX heads and half the price. Never skimp on your valvetrain it'll be the biggest mistake you'll make.
What caught my eye was Allied is NOT accredited by BBB. Any long-established business of good repute would have BBB accreditation.
If I know nothing else about a business, that is one of the first things I look for.
I stand by my previous post in this thread.

Become a helpful member of our forum, maybe talk to the powers that be about being a sponsor?! There are lots of opportunities for your business on LS1Tech if your heads and machine shop add horsepower. 🍻
In working around small business,, unless a business has literally hundreds of bad ratings,, and continuous complaints the BBB data is suspect at best, no dog in the fight just don't treat the BBB as the end all..
I use the cross source approach, BBB, Multiple internet sources. Visit the business and see if you can work with them.
Your exact word were " They have a poor rep with BBB. and a trail of complaints a mile long." I don't know what Tech Senior Member would be but you are sharing false information about my business. 2 complaints in 22 years of business.
Also state they repair and rebuild, but do no porting. More misinformation. We do have a 5 axis machine in house and do all our own work.
I would expect a Senior Member to be responsible in giving information.

Hi Allied,
02*C5 is right about opportunities on LS1Tech.
Noticed your CNC ported LS3 style heads are very competitively priced with no core charge. I think there would be a good bit of interest in those.

I would strongly disagree with this sir. As a business development executive, it is widely know that the BBB is effectively evolved into a protection racket that functions primarily as a pay to play entity. There have been hundreds of cases alleging corruption within the BBB to squeeze dollars out of out of companies who have no interest in being involved with the BBB.

I will be checking it out more. I have stayed away from blogs for some of the reasons you see above. I appreciate the advice and will work on it in weeks to come.
