5 grand for a set of heads? Too much IMO. I think you'd be better off with a roots style supercharger or rear turbo setup...

Thats pretty cool. Pretty insane at the same time. I do like the idea though.

I've heard they're vaporware, just like the Street Warrior intake. Either way, not worth the expenditure unless you're swapping an LSX into a street rod and want to do something completely different with your wheelbarrows full of money...

Neat, but I'd like to know how the spring pressure from two springs acts on even the best roller lifter.

thats what I was thinking..... a solid roller would probably have issues thats a lot of weight/spring pressure for a small roller bearing

I could only imagine a nice 440" lsx motor with a pair of 80mm turbos blowing through a head that flows 405cfm at .600" lift. OH MY!

I would think that if those heads were worth the money someone would have already ran a number with them.

People have more money than one would think and if this was truly the product it says it to be, someone would have used them.

The guys making them could have bought a rolling chasis and bolted those heads on, blasted some rediculous number and would be selling them left and right.

I first saw those heads yars ago, and since then nothing has happend with them. This makes me thing one of two things, either a. they do not exist, or b. they do not work.

I bet WCCH could CNC you a set of LS7 heads that would match or pass those damn things with 1/2 the cost of valves and springs for half the price or less.

Out of the box ETP 4 bolt ls7 heads that flow 390 topped with shaft mounts and good springs are $5k without even getting into port work.

If I remember correctly Nelson has used them before on their builds and we know he makes some sick *** builds. If I also remember correctly the guy providing these screwed some people over that might be why Nelson stopped using them.

But I do remember seeing a pretty beastly Lsx motor using these heads in one of those nelson vids on the net.

They don't exist.

They were supposedly the hot ticket for the ford 302 years and years ago, and I have never heard of ANYONE actually having a set.

SSDD.

I've seen them used in a G1 Small block Chevy years ago in one of the magazines. Other than that, I've yet to see them used in the real world nor have I seen any for the LSX engines with them.
