Like Flash said they are only an upgrade for us 96-98 guys. 99-04 cars already have them. The only real options for heads for our cars are just port and polished pi heads. Which you can purchase through different shops.

here's a dumb question... why is everyone caught up on port and "polish", what part of the heads is supposed to be polished? I've have 2 sets of aftermarket heads (Livernois and Patriot) and both are CNC ported, which from what I'm told is better than the "old" port and polished heads. Am I missing something?

could be but I think most people just don't know any better, all they hear is port and polish, port and polish, port and polish so they think it's polished. I was pretty sure that no company makes a P&P head for our cars, I just wanted to make sure.

To me it's like people saying the N2O is NOS.

It's just a term... I certainly hope people don't think you are actually getting out some mothers aluminum polish and shinning up the head. Polishing can simply mean cleaning up the tool marks after you go through with the CNC machine.
