Default Trick flow out of the box modifications.

Is anyone taking the trickflow heads out of the box and sending them to the head shop to get modified? I am running a stock bottom end set up and I was reading and found that the trick flow 215s are a all around good head. I was wanting to know what everyone was doing to them, what u can do to them, and why u would modify them out of the box. Any info or personal opinion is welcome. Thanks
Trey

I am pretty sure TEA was doing some work on them for awhile. Would have to check and see if they are still. Poeple do it to get just a little more out of the setup.

Thats about all I've seen recommended for these as well. IIRC Trickflow posted up in a thread somewhere when these launched and mentioned that you could do it yourself with a sand paper roll and just carefully smooth out the CNC grooves but otherwise they were as good as they could get them. I cant recall what board that was on though this was a while back now.

Regardless they are damn fine heads IMO
