    Alot of people just getting 243s worked over...
    Some go with company's who CNC port stock castings. PRC, Patriot, etc
    Then of course you have the all out companys like dart, trickflow, and afr

    i run TSP l92 heads i will put them against any l92 setup thats equal or closer to mine or even above, that have dart afr tf, tsp used pete's cnc software to do my heads and didnt pay near the price that wcch, afr trick dart cost. BUT i did get hollow stemed valves and a few extra things for the heads. i used to run patroit 5.3 heads which were satisfing for what they were and what they did, its all about what you wanna spend, trust me when i say i can afford any head out there but i wished not to since tsp cnced ported heads matched the others and flowed alittle better. if i was you and you dont have alot of dollars to spend on a NAMED brand head get the 243's but dont go cheap on who ports them.. find a well known porter and go from there

    I havent gotten close to setting in stone who I get my heads from. BEING where I am from with no real good names in machine shops as far as heads go except one. And trust me they charge a great deal because they know they are the only dependable name around.... I want to say just a small mill job and p&p. No flow check really I just wanted them cleaned up... Ran around 850 ish.
    I just wanted to see what some real feedback from people was.
