JRP, your heads were CNC'd here at TEA, hand finished by FFHP and should make good power.

Here's another thread on some heads that were CNC'd at TEA, hand finished by a reputable company and stalled at .575 lift, 505 RWHP didn't seem too bad to me!!

We certainly don't want the heads to stall, and I would say that we probably haven't shipped any heads this year that did stall, our product gets better all the time.

FWIW, if anyone does have a stalling head we will fix it for free.

brain fart , i actually new that. the first set i had CNC' TEA finished @ FFHP pulled all the way to .600 cleanly with both the radius plate and intake. the new heads pictured stall around .550 w/ the radius plate but not with the intake...

Could this "stalling air" cause the car to fall on its face at a certain rpm level?

nope it just looks bad on paper

If you put an intake on it won't stall. It would be real nice if we could flow a head at the vacuum it sees while running.

Mine will be out in a couple of days. I got Stage 2.5 AFR's with the optional hand finishing and nitrous exaust port. These should be some bad MF'ers.
