for those that care. i just thought id update you on my head situation. i never got valves cut cause i didnt have money at the time. the guy clean them for free for me. i gotta take em back now that i have money and get the valves cut, rocker studs put in, and spring seats cut.

 

is that your 289 heads?

 

sure is

 

grammar people.. i can barley understand whats going on!!

 

so how much would you say you have into them?

 

75 dollars as is that was how much i got them for.

once its all said and done. ~400 dollars. im not counting the cost of RR's cause i would have had to buy them with any head im going with.

 

so are you having larger valves installed???

 

nice, i had my e7's tanked, all new exhaust valves, 2 new intake valves, new 110lb comp cam springs, port&polish, removed the emmisions "bump" and back to me in 5 days from the time i droped them off for $550 including parts.

still havent been able to "test them out" with this damn AOD, but ill have numbers, soon after i get the T5 in.

then when the track opens in april i can see what the heads+T5 does to my ET

 

yea, i thought i had to have the valves to get the larger seats cut, but i guess i dont. im going to take them down this week and get them cut and installed,1.94 1.6. i think i'm just going to order the springs for my cam now and make sure the seats are cut correctly for the springs and just get them all set up. with the guideplates, rocker studs, springs, and new valves.

 

you spent that much money on e7's?
