I'm in your boat as well. Its coming down to the TFS 21's, AI 190's or LE,s The new castings would be nice
I would have to get a good deal on some second hand AI's or LE's

Just remember opinions are slanted due to site sponsorships. Ask around on other sites about different vendors and you might get different answers. Go with whomever you feel comfortable with. Customer service is what your after also. So make sure you can ask questions and get your answers regarding your setup in a timely manner and without attitude. JMO

I'v contacted both AI and LE and honestly AI is out of the question, they quoted me $1200 for the 200cc BARE. I'm sorry but the heads go for $1500 then 250 for springs and 250 for valves should be at least $1000 BARE. LE on the other hand dose offer a good deal on his LE2 heads. You could get them bare for $750 compaired to the Trick Flows at $1010 Bare. I would say if your on a budget deffinatly go w/ LE if not the Trick Flows. You could get LE2 w/ valves for 1000 or buy trick flows w/ valves for 1191. LE2 probably will flow a lil better but the Trick flows have more potential.

At this point I'm contemplating lq4 swap. I saw a complete LQ4 long block on craigslist for $500 with 87,000 miles on it. You can get a brand new set of PRC 5.3 cnc,d heads that flow well over 300cfm @.600 for $1200 if you know the right people. Thats brand new castings brand new everything.
