havent heard of them yet, honestly.
if they are up to par with ZZP's CNC heads i could see some benefit in picking them up. but then again, with the same amount of money spent youd get an unbeatable set of heads locally from an engine builder.

No core charge is pretty sweet. That'll kick ZZP's ass into gear for that since they are the same price IIRC and I don't feel like checking.
As for the heads though...Nick is right. I got mine that look exactly like those with even a more aggressive port job for only $500. Granted, I know the guy so except more than that if you aren't in the know with a machine shop. Still...a grand at a machine shop got my bottom end totally buttoned up. I have a shop do them IMO...then with the money you save you can buy a cam.

Alright thanks! I am also looking into doing roller rockers instead of a cam so i have a few questions about those. Im thinking of running 1.9's and 105 lb springs along with new retainers and locks. is there anthing else i should get or do you have any suggestions?

If your going rockers then get the highest ratio...1.95's. Will it make much more difference than 1.90's? Probably not that you'll fel in the butt dyno but since your going rockers and it is the same price...might as well get the highest ratio possible...and for springs...yes, get Crow #105's, New Viton Seals and Comp Locks

ok sounds good. do you think i should get new lifters as well or should the stock ones still be ok? my car has about 105k

Since your in there I'd replace them but that's just me. If you do...just buy LS7 lifters form a LSx dealer...I bought 16 of them from Texas Speed a few years back for under $120 shipped...then I still have 4 left over incase something takes a crap

im guessing this is where you got yours from?

Thanks for all the help, i cant wait to get this all installed along with my 3.4 pulley and whatnot

Mod list? You can probably get away with smaller than a 3.4" easily with headers/rockers/ported heads...if you found a used meth kit for like $100 or something I wouldn't doubt you could run a 3.1" or even smaller with bigger injectors knock free. Then again...you can always bump up the timing and run a bigger pulley too.

well as of right now im still waiting for the ssac headers to come back in stock and i am looking for a set of heads to send to the machine shop so as of right now i am going to install the rockers and a ported blower with a 3.4 for now and then get it tuned when i get some exhaust work done.

speed daddy has ssac knock offs for less might wanna check em out he has them listed in the introduction section

FYI, if you havent bought a set of heads yet id go with L32 heads because they already have bigger intake valves.
04-09-2010
well i ordered a set of the speed daddy headers last night and i hope they fit. im still wondering what lifters i should use? any suggestions?
