Thank you all for the advice. As much as I wanted to try hillside they are just too busy so I guess I'm going to give Dan Vance a try this time.

Dan Vance has some real good pricing. I know a guy just about to install set of his heads and I'm curious to see how it turns out, good luck with yours.

Thanks I'm hoping for some nice improvements. He also suggested an HPI 55mm throttle body which I added.
