Question PLEASE HELP; Racenets Service Sucked, What about their Work?

I am interested in buying a set of used heads and the person I am purchasing them from gave me this description he got with the heads;

Racenet Performance LS1 Street/Strip Cylinder heads
Purchased from Internet Racers Supply in a head/cam purchase.
Come fully assembled and ready to bolt-on.

Intake & Exhaust Ports Fully Ported For Maximum Airflow While Maintaining High Port Velocity
Manley Racemaster 2.02"intake 1.575"exhaust Stainless Steel Valves With Undercut Stems
Full Competition Valve Job
Combustion Chambers Contoured & Reshaped To Provide Better Flame Travel And Eliminate Hot Spots That Can Cause Detonation
Each Cylinder Head Is Resurfaced To Ensure a Perfect Mating Surface
Comp Cams Dual Valvesprings
Comp Cams Titanium retainers
Comp Cams Spring Seats
Valve Seal


Are these heads worth buying or are they crap just like their customer service?

sounds like a "decent" set of heads - whats the asking price?
Not sure on the quality of their products, I primarily stick to two vendors Speed Inc and NitroDaves

You are close to Speed, give them a call about their RGR heads

I was looking to buy used, thats why I brought this question up. He is asking 800 plus cores but I am weary of paying that much for a set of heads that might be barely better than stock.

Thanks for the help.

$800 is not a bad price, but the core thing . . .

I have no clue what the heck I was typing there. What I meant was do we know if when people actually got the stuff they ordered from Racenet if it was decent work. I dont want to spend 800 bucks on a set of Racenet heads and they turn out to be junk.

thanks,
CMC

I bought a Comp cam from racenet.net about four years ago, but their URL is no longer viable these days. I would be curious if anyone knows what has happened to them.

They are out of business now, I am thinking I might pass on these heads, Noone seems to have them to say whether they are worth anything.

man for $800 bucks you could get yourself some ported heads on ebay, they won't be all that but hey they'll be new, and should much better than stockers. They only used heads that i would buy and pay over a thousand for would be AFR.
