I'd like to know as well. Looks like they could be the new best value in LS1 heads if they perform.

the customer was happy with his set up so thats all that mattered

Remember, different stages are going to look different as well... Stage 1 will look different than Stage 2.

when was "awhile" back? and do you remember the customers name?
it is quite possible that the customer requested a "mild" port as we don't always do "off the shelf" setups.

I remember a guy named Vinny from up that way who got a heads and cam package, I forget all of the details but the cam was a 230/226 570ish lift and made 411rwhp(if I remember right)

it is VERY possible that they were a set of stage 1 or mildly ported heads,
it was last year when the install was done and i do not remember his name, just that he had Force Fed heads and at the time i had not seen or heard of your company,

like i said the customer was happy with his numbers what ever they were as i dont remember exactly

and this was not my intention to bash anyone or their product

I took it as no bash, and we appreciate you giving your honest informed opinion. after reading what I posted (I was logged in under the ForceFed HP account) it really did not come out right. I am at a race event and was using someone elses laptop so had limited time to post.
Mainly I was trying to say we probably did a "custom" setup for your customer.

While I'm waiting for the motor in my sig to become reality lol, I am going to have some fun with a h/c package. I'm going to go with FFHP. As a matter of fact, I just called to order, and the machine said they were at a race in Indianapolis or somewhere. I sent an email this weekend, and an hour later I got a reply. Tell me what yall think:

Stage 1x 5.3l
$1395 (no core)
2.02/1.57
.600 lift springs
bronze guides
ti retainers
new locks
viton seals
new spring seats
milled and flowed

lift intake exhaust
.100 68 59
.200 158 121
.300 216 171
.400 251 187
.500 289 216
.600 302 226

Looks like they have good quality parts, stage 1 heads that flow 302, and a good price. Their regular ls1 heads have the same specs and price.
