Default TEA heads ordered! YAY

I just ordered the TEA Stage 1.5 5.3 heads.... It's the new model that outflows their previous competition model... NICE!!... It will take 2 weeks to get here. 63cc chamber, "gold springs .600 llift" (never heard about them), titanium retainers, 2.02 intake, stock 1.55 exhaust.

Now for the cam.... over the F-13 114 +4 right now.............

Yeah, $1,550 for the assembled pair, no core, and they claim it flows more than AFRs 205 on all lifts - can't beat that.

Agreed.

But you gotta agree that TEA has a great bang for the buck ratio right now with these heads. On the 100s of searches I did here I only found good things about their work.
