Default Where to P&P 243s?
I have a set of bare 243 heads, where in DFW would be a good spot to take them to get P&P them and add new valves? Thanks.

It might not be local, but TEA's stage 2 243's have never not performed well.

Lloyd ships heads all over. Don't know about others.

Just call him. He's always willing to advise you to what you want/need done and will give you pricing. My brother had his 241's done with badass springs, new Manley valves, and a full port job for $1100. Price should be similar if not the same.

OP said he wanted PORTED and polished not just polished. So Lloyd would not be a good choice. There is a reason things cost more. I was just at Frankenstein Monday. You could slurp soup off the floor it's so clean in there. I don't see Lloyd doing any pro stock heads.

Advanced Induction has been good to me so far. Some ported 823's were worth about 30-35rwhp. Another set of ported 799's, also with a bigger cam and bigger LT's, were worth about 85-90rwhp.

I've also heard nothing but good from the Frankenstein heads.
