  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Haven't had time to port heads in some time. Most now I send out to be cnc. I do however do some bowl work after I finish the valve job. The 350 have been leaving here flowing upper 250's to lower 260's on the intake side. I think the exh has been in the mid 170's. This is just a valve job with blending to the seat. Just like Edelbrock does I guess. Most guy's that port there own 455 don't get there.

    The last few years have left us with issues getting parts, manufacturing parts and finding help. We need a cylinder head person to complete valve jobs and the assembly of heads. We also very much need to hire another sales person familiar with Buick's, Buick engines and just general Buick knowledge. Machine shop we really need an additional cnc set up, programmer machinist. Plus we could use an additional shipping and receiving person. If there are folks out there that can fit in these slots please give me a call or email us at TAPerf@aol.com.

    Thank you for letting us know;)
    Us Buick guys here ( from V6 to 455 ) have been speculating what’s going on with TA, thank you for letting us know!
    If I didn’t have roots here in Cleveland I’d apply for a job with you guys, but I fix and paint cars LOL, but I’d do what I could to help you guys out and stay in the Buick market:D
    I have no ill feelings about the aluminum 350 heads fiasco, TA is still my go to for Buick engine stuff.
