Default TEA heads

Where should I go if interested in TEA heads? I've heard of them on the forum, but haven't found a link for info/purchase.

Thanks!

Frodo84 has a set for sale in C5 parts.

They are great heads. You may also want to search Ls1tech as TEA had much more discussion over there. Can't go wrong with a Futral cam and the TEA heads. I had a set on my car.

TEA has also been working with TFS on their new heads.

TEA are KILLER heads and ask for BRIAN TOOLEY over there as he is the main head porter and previous owner. Bought there stage II LS6 heads several months ago for m forged blower motor and the heads look great and flow INCREDIBLE air (almost identical to how the Trick Flow 215s flow)!

You have to pay a core charge for their heads or give them your heads and you for a core you can pick up really cheap GM heads for your core that TEA will accept from PATRIOT PERFORMANCE. I did this and got GM casted LS5 heads from Patriot for around $439 shipped to TEA as my core charge! Brian TOOLEY turned me on to that trick at TEA and great way to go as its cheaper than there core charge (unless you have LS heads to give them for your core)!

We had some issues too with their LT1 heads...
Ported too far and started to leak water,was very unhappy for the $$ we spent...


Had my Machine shop Fix them and reweld the runners....
They do make power but for 2K they shouldve never leaked...
