But Josh,

That confused me, When I read you called them T/A heads, I assumed that INDY is recasting the old T/A head. So the IndyBrock T/A would make more sence to me, I guess.....

Since a true T/A head is cast iron, and has OE part numbers on them.

Ok so getting past what it's called. Lets move on to how it's a pretty damn fine cylinder head for the money

Josh I think it is a good cost effective head especially if you don't already have a decent set of rockers, shafts and hold downs. That's the main reason I bought mine rather than buying the standard Eddys. I can't remember exactly when I bought mine, but it was quite some time ago. Probably around '04/'05. The only thing I would suggest is to use better valves if you're still using the same ones that came with mine. Durability was fine , but they sure were heavy and not as well shaped as they could have been. I replaced them with PBM's a year ago when I freshened up the valve job. As I am sure you know PBM's are reasonably priced,no doubt even more so when you're talking about the quanities Indy can buy. The PBM's were 21 grams lighter on the intakes and 11 on the exhausts. With Indy's valves the engine was done at 6200 rpm. With the PBM's and the same springs it's bouncing off the rev limiter at 6600 and would easily do more if I moved the limiter up.
