Default TEA heads are back

I sent a set of 5.3 TEA heads back to them a while back for freshening. They did new valve job, new like springs and updated the porting to blend the valve job. Got them back yesterday. They have some new art and I was really impressed with the gains.

Old numbers:
.200 -106.4 -135.5
.300 -153.5 -199.3
.400 -200.1 -250.9
.500 -228.5- 287.3
.550 -235.5 -296.0
.600 -240.7 -287.2

.
The after flows are shown on their sheet below:

I hate to bust your bubble man, but the first column is your exaust flow #'s with a pipe extension. Not the old flow #. Second is you intake flow obviouslly. Very nice numbers though.

not on our bench on a small bore. Those heads flowed very well for what they were. I was impressed.

its good to be back as sponsors. Its always nice to hear happy customers.

we have gone through a bunch of changes with the move. We had to rebuild our CNC Machine completely. Today they delivered CNC Machine #2 and #3. So we have been a little bit busy. We also have new hours of 8:30 am to 5:00pm.
Now if I could just find time to bring my car up here.

Your business is not easy if you missed that fact. Skilled labor and capital intensive. Throw in your move with it's disruption to work flow, labor and backlog and you've got the perfect storm.

I agree with you and these are facts I have not missed. However I knew from the start of our move that things would not be easy. (I was with TEA during our last move 4 years ago) But the things in life that come easy are generally of little value so I don't mind the hard work, besides it makes the day go quicker!
I am very optimistic about where we will be as company in the next 10 years. I am working with some of the most talented people I have ever worked with in the past and all of the changes that have came down the pike are going to lead to a much better product and service in the future.
Congrats again on the flow number Bruce. Those have to be some of the best 2.02 valve heads we have every flowed. Let us know how it goes when installed!

BTW love the mag red.
