I was really referring to the stock 1uz-fe heads being crap when speaking about strickly performance only...For overall durability, reliability the stock 1uz-fe heads get it done for sure... Like you said Striker 15 years is 15 years...
Still a good port job on these stock 1uz.. heads sounds to me like it will do wonders....
I also wonder what a very aggressive port head job on the these heads would that do for your lowend power and torque?... Isn't it some what common for aftermarket/or ported great flowing heads to destroy your lowend torque? Considering if you have already done your complete exhaust mods, cams and now the heads, all that may just dog out your motor out of the gates and give you all topend, no? How does one combat that?
