so it was just valve seals? if that was the only problem thats not a casting/machining issue

Never been on a dyno... the butt dyno was a massive difference. I use to get moderate tire spin in first and chirp second. After the install full throttle in first is almost useless, second lays a healthy patch and I hook in third. The thing that I noticed most about the head swap is after 2200-2500 RPM.. the car pulls very, very hard. I can be rolling in second and floor it and the car is on the verge of loosing traction from 2500 all the way through the RPM range.

nice, not bad for $800 heads.


i still think ill hold out for trick flow heads......... shot a email to thumper to see what he thinks


i just want 300hp all motor.
im at about 220-230 now, gonna swap to a t5, and then i want the heads/cam to make up for the 70hp i need[&:]

if you cant get 300 hp with those heads and a decent cam/intake i feel bad for you[&:]

with trickflow's or patriots?


as for trickflows, yea i know, prob could get real close to 300 with stock cam. but the price is crazy high

I wish I had the funds to take it in for a dyno run. It would be nice to see actual numbers rather than talking out what my *** feels... I am not sure what a dyno run would even cost in my area.

dude with the patriots you should be able to get 300 with supporting mods. seriously.... didnt AFR's make like 400 on a stock cammed short block in that magazine article?

idk, i just want a good head, that i can grow with, because one day id like to be making some insane power.

thats why i picked trickflow twisted wedge, they can get me to 300hp easy, and down the road if i want to throw 10-15psi at this engine, the heads wont be holding anything back.



but that is my major issue right now, trying to figure out of trickflow's are really worth it, or should i just go with a cheaper head, such as patriots, or ported gt40p's

trickflow heads can be seen on street cars and 8 sec drag cars
