Was looking at their web site and noticed that the have the same address. So I didn't know that. I guess total engine airflow performs there CNC program for TFS?.

I think so, there is a thread on the bullet about it. I think Brian Tooley (started TEA) designed the twisted wedge head, or had some input on it. Also, think he did the latest CNC port design for all the trickflow heads (or again had some input).

Trick Flow Specialities was a cylinder head company started by Mike and Rick Smith back in the early 80's in northeastern Ohio. In the late 90's Rick sold the company to Summit and went on board as the president of TFS for a few years, but is no longer there. The Smith brothers had designed the twisted wedge head, the A-460 head, and other versions of heads. Rick Smith has been a quest speaker at three of our Winter Tech Seminars.

Brian Tooley was the owner of TEA and sold that company to TFS sometime in the 2000's. TEA was and is in the business of doing CNC porting. Brian moved to northeastern Ohio and was the head of TEA for a while, but left TEA a couple of years ago. Cory Roth is the main man now. So,,,,TEA is a subsidary of TFS, which is a subsidary of Summit.
