Anyone use the new TA performance heads in their engine yet? I've seen some older threads but no results yet..

As far as I can tell, the guys who are using them aren't talking about it. Chances are if you were tight with the racing crowd (Curtis?) you would be hearing rumors of this or that car running TA heads. Do they provide a noticeable performance advantage on the track? At this point I expect it is still in the stage of a more or less guarded racer's edge and if they feel it is helping them they don't want to say it and encourage the competition. But you can pretty well bet that if there was no advantage we'd be hearing about that.

Bob, Dan Jones and I, each have a bare set. It's faily likely, he will have his ported/together first. "Mike" at TA can give you lots of verbal, about them, but no flowbench or dyno sheets. I'll be using a 2.02" intake on mine,(hopefully with a 3.9"bore). Good Luck, roverman.
