Is there a website where I can read about the PRC heads and view pricing? Does anyone know how these compare to hand finished TEA heads? The TEA's were what I was looking into until I heard about these, and I would like to hear more.

We carry ET Performance cylinder heads. They make great power and are a great product, very nice cnc finish to them. I have a few sets on the shelf ready to go. Let me know if I can be of any help.

Thanks

I just received two sets of AFR heads done by TEA. Quality is top notch and flow numbers are great. My last set of Stage 3 6.0l heads from TEA also made great power.

If you still need a set of heads, give us a call!

I am getting a set of Force Fed High Performance heads. They are TEA cnc cores, hand finished by Brad Waldon at FFHP. They retail for $1395, no cores, and come with all the bulletproof hardware. It pays to give him a call, he is very helpfull. Peace, and good luck, Victor
