Question Well I am down to PP 5.3 Race heads or Forcefed HP 5.3 or/5.7 heads.

I like the PP 5.3 Race heads and have a nice deal/ offer on a set of Forcefed HP 5.3 or/5.7 heads.


Anyone running Forcefed HP heads? Pros / Cons ??

I bought some Stage II 6.0L heads from Brad at FFHP to go with a FI setup. Transaction went really smooth and Brad kept me updated very well.
Dont know about the performance of the heads yet since the car is still at the shop, but they looked very nice

i bought some suspension stuff through forcefed no problems with that...but if its my money I'd end up leaning to patriot for the heads...im obviously a little biased, but I know the results of patriot heads and even though they had some issues in the past seemingly its just that, in the past. They are probably priced identical and have nearly identical components going into them so its personal preference at this point.

Good luck
Bill

Absolute speed is having a GP on 6.0 stage 2 heads right now for 1499. This should be another option as well.

Hard of have an opinion without seeing some data & feedback on FF.

I'd favor TEA or Absolute.

If it's PP or FF, I think the TSP race version of PP would be my pick over an unknown.

Well that is why I was wondering how many Had heard of or used FFHP,
I had not heard of them but I was hoping others had. They are a sponsor so I assumed they had sold a few to members.

Maybe I am down to Absolute and PP RC.......

Absolute is willing to give me a break on the heads, because I have my springs, tit ret,ect.... So was FFHP, but not as much..

More feed back please.

FFHP is a sponsor...sorry I didn't realize that. Maybe FFHP can refer you to a few of their LS1 customers that can tell your about the experience. What's FFHP flow numbers for their heads?
