I like them alot!!! They have super clean as cast ports. They seem to make a ton of power on our set up. We just needed to upgrade to a roller cam to make the heads work better. The only thing is figuring push rod length, which turned out to be easier than I thought. I have always said that they were a quality piece and I believe they are every bit as good as the AFR, Edelbrock, ect. We wont be needing them anymore though, my brother decided to put his racing career on hold to pursur other intersts. Keep an eye on EBAY in the next month for our new falcon on there. Thanks for your interest in the heads, Steve.

We bought them bare, but had the guy install Ferrea Competition valves and set them up with our springs and titanium retainers ect. They should have cost us around $2,000, but managed to get them for $900 with him sponsoring us. I wish I had pictures of them, but I think they are awesome. Thanks, Steve.
