Westside Performance. They're inexpensive and do pretty decent work.

This just got my attention... While I don't want to derail this thread, I'm very interested in the fact that you also sell the TFS units. Specifically, I would love to hear more about the TFS LS7 castings. I haven't seen a lot of builds use them, but they are interesting to me. (I currently have ported TFS LS3 castings).

Are you carrying any other lines besides your MMS (the AFR castings as I understand it) and the TFS? Specifically, I am curious about the RHS LS7 casting.

Sorry, derailed anyway...

Replacing the guides and exh valves with solid ss seems to be the fix for the LS7 heads.

I had FRH do mine along with their stage 1 program and they came out great looking

I used them back when I did a lot of stuff with mod motors.
