Heh...Hey Mike!

I left a voice mail at the number you gave me the same day you dropped in.

Give me a call at the shop tomorrow and I can fill you in, I was going to follow up with you tomorrow anyway.

I don't believe it will be a permanent price drop, only for the 10 sets that we have on the shelf.

How did you flow these? Did you flow them with the LS6 intake and exhaust tubes in place?

I dont want to speak for APE but I would bet the answer would be no...

The intake flow would lower (LS6 intake restricted) and the exhaust flow higher from the pipe.

Numbers look great guys!!

These heads were flowed with a radius inlet on the intake port and a no pipe on the exhaust port. We still have 6 sets left, get them while you can at this price!

Thanks!

Heads look sweet Jason!!

Do you need cores for that price? or no cores required? What lift are those valve springs good for?

No cores needed! The springs are good for .620" lift.
