I'm sorry but you don't pick up 5 mph with only a 12 rwhp gain
I was thinking the same thing.... I picked up 6mph going from 292rwhp 314rwtq to 348rwhp 363rwtq which is 56rwhp 49rwtq gain. How come a 12rwhp gives u 5mph increase?

If you are looking for all out N/A power I think they are the way to go. But if you decide to go FI I would think that you would be fine with one of the lesser $$$$ heads.

Tea's are classified as a budget head becuase they cost less, they are a less expensive head, BUT, what I have seen from dyno's they dont stand up to gtp's, dyno is the proof, the more it makes on the dyno the more potential it will have at the track. tea' are stuck at the 400 range were gtps are always at 440. cant argue over the facts
400rwhp?? 449/399 right here in Ga with TEAs. There are MANY guys making 440s on TEAs. Remember, not everyone is an internet queen like us

You get what you pay for. I'm happy with mine. The noisy Comp R lifters I could do without though.

I also decreased weight but only by about 100lbs...I know what I did and I really don't care if you want to disagree...remember there is a whole lotta things that go into track times and dyno time...my dyno was at one of the hottest parts of the day...where as my track time was in the evening..where it was cooler...

Appreciate the reply's guys. You've pretty much made up my mind to go N/A over F/I now.

Josey.. How do you like MTI's X1 cam?
I LOVE IT..honestly...only other cam I'd consider is the G5X2 but for the drivability of my X1 I really don't think I'd change. the X1 is a BADASS cam.

ne14a6t9,

Stuck in the 400 range?

There are several TEA headed cars at/over 440rwhp, their existance proves your statement is false. It seems you go to great lenghts to attack/tear down TEA in most head related threads while ignoring several well documented examples of TEA headed cars that are at 440rwhp or over.
