Default TSP Heads

i just spoke with TSP about the heads i ordered. I've already been waiting close to a month for them and now after talking with a rep from TSP looks like it's going to be another week or 2.
I'm trying to maintain my patience and posture, but in a few days I'm just about to say F it and cancel my order with TSP b/c A&A corvette has AFR 205s in stock and ready to ship.
Should I wait it out 2 more days? b/c if the heads aren't shipped on Monday 7/10/06, I'm going to cancel it and get those AFRs from A&A....
what would you do in this situation>?

Why would you wait 2 days to see if they have been shipped out if they said it would be another week or so? I have never heard of A&A Corvette and am not knocking them, but TSP has a pretty good rep around here for doing nothing but good for a lot of people. I'd stick it out if I were in your shoes. TSP had some problems with a batch of heads they did and worked with everyone (as far as I know) in making the situation right.

If it makes you feel any better, the guys wanting ETP heads are waiting even longer!

Im in the same situation as you. I think a bunch of people must have ordered the same heads at one time. My car has been down for 4 and 1/2 months now and its driving me insane as soon as the heads get here i will be able to put it back together. Id just wait it out, Im sure youll see them soon.

I think that is the wait on all the ETP heads no matter where you get them.

There's a brand new set of etp's 215's in the for sale section. Mine took a little over 4 months to get. I hope they work as good as they look.
