Heh, I didn't want to name the shop because they aren't a sponsor, but you obviously know the deal. My friend has a tuner lined up, but we aren't 100% committed, so let me see what we can do. Thanks!

That's another thing... I am going to re-use the heads with a mild port/polish job. Will the Hedmans be all jacked up with the newer-style heads? Thanks!
