You will get half the head for twice the money at MORE. If your looking for an all out, top of the line head, go with Futral. It will cost a little more than some vendors, but the work is far superior. My buddy is having his LT-4 heads and intake done by them right now.

I absolutely agree. You are paying for a great product when you're dealing with Allan Futral and Meaux Racing Heads.

Beast, how does Futral compare to TEA's heads? I'm going with a FMS cam and when I get heads later on I'll be going with one of the two companies. Hit me up with a PM when you get a chance.

Futral does a fine job on heads.They are a dealer of ours. I doubt you can go wrong with FMS
