I haven't got any experience directly but we do have someone that will be doing stuff with them shortly )APexi GSR. I've heard nothing but good things about Tom's headwork.

it all depends what your setup is and the Type r head is only lightly ported on the intake side so there is still more work that needs to be done on this head if your applicaton is in need of higher flow.

The Type R head is ported on both the intake and exhaust. They don't really port it actually. They just clean up the area right before the valve seats and get rid of a little ridge. Headwork would definatly make a difference. I had Tom do a head for me and it came out very nice. I would highly reccomend him.
