Default Tri -State Cylinder heads qusstion

I'm thinking of swaping my gt 40 heads ,which are still stock,for a set of the tri state heads .They are gt40's that have been ported (64 cc chambers) and bigger valves (stainless 194 intake and 154 exhaust )installed along with 550 lift springs and the price of 550.00 seems like a deal.Has anyone triad these heads or the tri state services???

Do they give you a flow chart with the heads. I'm curious what they flow from .100-.600 lift. If they can't tell you I'd steer clear.
