Are CNC profiled chambers worth it?

I am gonna buy some new TFS Kenny Duttweiler heads, and am curious if CNC chamber profiling is worth the extra ~$175, thanks

I have read that, but wasn't sure if it was a advertisement stunt.

It wouldn't matter "who" CNC's though, cause it is done by computer.............right? Or am I totally lost here?

When I lived and raced in LA,I had a chance to go to his shop several times,It is north of LA about 1.5 hr drive.That was when he was fooling with Mustangs along with his Buicks.First man in the 7's in a Buick.
The computer does the cutting but the design is put in by the porter.And if it's Kenny's design,I would want it.You WILL be impressed.

Thanks for all the help, from what I gather, Trick Flow gave them to him to dyno on an engine, and he said something like they are the best heads for the money on the market. I don't think he had anything to do with the actual design, but he definently endorses them, which is obvious since they are naming the heads after him!!! Thanks

I also have a man in LA that does all my heads.If you need work let me know.The guy that does my heads also does heads for some in the Engine Masters Contest.Good work too.


The TFS heads seem a little small from what I have read.

Only used one set on a customers 350.They seemed OK but not Killer.It's what he had so they were installed.
I think they were 034???
