What's with all this Vortec heads not fitting the TPI set-up???

I hear a lot of the Vortec heads not working with the TPI because of bolt patterns.If they don't fit,then what's a good set of heads that are priced reasonably for TPI???

Chaotic Firehawk can be found wondering NEThirdgen.org and 3rdgen.org

"A musclecar, by definition, is a powerful and sporty vehicle that must be able to spin its tires at will. The Firebird Trans Am is capable of laying down twin black streaks of rubber several hundred feet long. We wanted to be sure it could, so we did it a half dozen times in the name of automotive science."-MotorTrend

AFR 190's, AFR 210's for big inch motors, TFS 23degree heads.

There is a Vortec TPI intake coming out in about a month, you could just wait for that...
