10,500$ is cheap for what you get from BES. Winner,winner chicken dinner.

Not sure how that changes the fact there is no cost difference between PP and Tiger heads

Why would you ask a guy whom has never spoken to Tony or spent a dime with the guy as to why he would recommend him?

Its obvious why Tony is so respected. More than just a few of the "name" Pontiac guys started with Butler, KRE or some other Pontiac specific shop.
They end up at BES and stay there.
Out of my league for sure.

Do you have any of those "name" guys in your stable ?
Asking for a friend.

Yet the most known Pontiac, in the world probably, is powered by a Butler engine...Thats not knocking BES at all, its just showing how damn dumb your comment is.

We have or had quite a few World records "in our stable".

Now why don't you answer Slowbird and while your at it let us know everything you know about all of his cylinder heads.

One more question, now that the old head guy from Reher Morrison is the new head guy at BES whom has or had the better heads Reher or BES as long as you are the guy "in the know"?
