Tea vs TSP Vs Waldens' Machine work for the 5.3

Neither of these two have answered the question correctly. TSP is cheaper. They will make about the same power regardless of how long Tea has been around. They both use GM heads to begin with. My car outpulls an fm13 with Tea's all the way to 5800 rpms. Tea does good work but so does TSP. TSP is less money and sells everything else you need to swap the heads. Package deal will be better at TSP. JMO

Actually we did answer the question correctly. Exactly what part didn't you understand. I suggest you lookup the word "sideline" in a dictionary first. TSP is a well known and respected shop which will sell you almost any speed part you can name and install it also. Their work is first rate and they stand behind it. However, heads are a sideline for them, not their primary business. You claim 445 hp na for your car on a Mustang dyno. Considering your mods list of a small cam, basic ported heads, and bolt ons I would believe that amount on nitrous but not na. Would you please post your dyno sheets and prove me wrong?

++++ For TEA , my guess is that the TEA are the best around on 5.3 heads machine work go and search for the the 1.5 and 2.5 TEA dyno results and flow sheets . remmeber u get what u pay for , TSP also does an awesome work to and are very known for their good quality products but the truth that TEA seems to produce some nice and reasonable flow numbers.

If you are looking to make incredible power, everywhere get the TEA heads.
They do incredible work and put in countless hours into their head design. They may cost a little more but you will feel and see the HP gain over the other heads.

that graph is not from TEA 5.3 heads, its from TEA 2.5 LS6 heads with an F13 cam. It is the Blue line with the amazing torque. Mind you that is without a FAST. I just got my TEA LS6 1.75s (thats what i call them) and should have some numbers this weekend.
