Thumbs up

I saw those earlier today. They look sweet, but cost a pretty penny!!! Definitely not worth 2K+ for a 15% gain in hp - what's that like 30hp?!

If I was going to build an SVX racer to run nitrous/turbo and have the engine block last the entire race season, then built heads like those would be perfect....

Nah, I just bid 100 bucks out of sympathy for the guy. $2500 - who is he kidding? He may be a great ebayer and a good guy, but without some hard data to back up his capslock claims he is crazy to expect that on a blind faith auction.

hehe, that's what i thought. i saw that you bid and i thought to myself, matt must know something i don't (well i do know you know alot of stuff that i don't ). just thought i'd ask .

come on man, don't you think he deserves 101.00? just for being a nice guy? but i'm sure you'd take it off his hands for a hundred bucks

Ok, here's my $0.02

This is a ripoff extrordinare'. Ceramic coated the exhaust tracts??? That looks like... well, every exhaust tract I've ever seen. must be a special carbon coating I've never seen Custom-Built cams advertised without specs either... Lift, duration, overlap??? anyone, anyone. Buhler Buhler...

I've e-mailed him for specs, Oh, and a picture of the intakes and combustion chambers (5 pictures and no angle of the intakes or chambers (my inquiring mind needs to know) yes, it may be real. BUT, IMHO, Caveat Emptor. This could be $2500 not so well spent.

The previous was my opinion only please feel free to have your own opinion. I'm waiting for facts.

Collins

I do like the shiny red...

I wonder if he wants more money for the missing exhaust stud?

Replacing the heads would be nice! Might want to replace the cylinders too! Too costly!

if i'm reading the auction correctly, to complete the auction you'd have to send in your heads in exhange for these ones!? so you're basically paying someone 2500 to do the head work for you? that must be some expensive head.......

complete rip. You would be handing this guy atleast 1500 dollars if he did most the work himself. AND your old heads for him to do it again!
