Default TSP Dart CNC Stage 2 heads, who is running them?

Just wondering how all the smoking issues got worked out.
Texas Speed just finished fixing my set and I'm anxious to get them on and get some killer dyno #'s.
Just how many people on here are running them? Has anyone NOT had smoking problems?
Jason said he replaced the guides and worked on the oil drain holes in my heads.
I'll have it together in a couple weeks and on a dyno, i'll be sure to post my results.
My combination is in my sig.

I for one and totally puzzled by this, if anything, my car uses less oil since the Darts went on. I haven't had any problems at all.

Your using the Texas Speed CNC stage 2 heads and not out of the box Dart heads, right?

It was only the TSP CNC'd heads that had the oil issues.

Yes, should have been more specific. Mine were out of the box, still puzzled though.

Out of the box heads seem to be okay.
I'm just wondering if I'm the only one in the world with a set of "fixed" Dart CNC Stage 2 heads from TSP.

Read the title of this thread As to the poster of this thread, I have only heard of your issue being fixed. I for one would love to purchase these heads if they could get the oil consumption issue fixed. They seemed to make an *** ton of power on Orangepeel's car with only 18 degrees of timing.

Well, my engine will be all together next week and if all goes well, I'll be able to post up some kick *** #'s and results.

Well, I sent mine back to Dart and all they could find wrong was the seals looked torn. Prior to that, everyone said seals couldn't cause the oil consumption problems I was having. I was using a quart of oil per day in daily driving. What the problem really was, we may never know. I got another set of heads from Dart that I just stuck on my engine. I can't wait to get my car up and running to see how they perform.

Uh, you misread my reply, I meant "I" should have been more specific, not the original poster.
