Not if you aren't going to take advantage of the additional potential provided by the new heads. I don't think it's fair to disparage the TF heads which were replacing a very good head to begin with. Considering the IMM EQ head isn't available anymore, there aren't too many options available for something in that performance range ready to go out of the box. What's the next best iron head? The SM heads have potential but need to be loved on by someone that knows what they are doing. Good head porters aren't a dime a dozen. Around here I haven't found one that has a flow bench, everyone is just going by eye. So now you have another $100+ in shipping them around to make sure you get a good job.
No rush to do the swap to the TF’s I have atm though. I factored in the cost to upgrade the EQ’s from standard length 1.92/1.62 intakes/exausts to the larger/longer 2.02 or 2.05 intakes, exhausts, springs, actual pro porting and flowing, labor and time/hassle of traipsing around which would have put me at well over $2500 which includes the heads and parts for the initial setup....and decided a set of ootb TF’s with rockers suited me better. Sell off the EQ’s and valvetrain components and be ahead at least I think so
NO you were not wrong, that's what this forum is suppose to be all about, members helping other members. It's a shame that there are some Bone Heads on here that use this forum to *****, whine and try to belittle others. Partner we all make mistakes, Lord knows I have made my share. Go get ya a new cam and you'll be fine.
And stoking someone elses ego.
Brian does good work.
