Default ETP 6 bolt heads

Currently trying to decide between ETP and Trickflow heads for my turbo LS2 build. The ETP 235's look very nice. The only drawback if anything is that they are 68cc chambers as opposed to the 70cc trick flows. Only a few points in compression shouldn't be a big deal, although I wanted to hit 9-1 so that I can run close to 20psi.

Anyone have any experience with the ETP's. Cary (the owner) has been very helpful thus far in our phone conversations, just wanted to get some users opinions. Thanks

If you are just now building the motor, then get the piston CC right to work with the head CC.

Cary's heads are awesome...I ran the ET225s on mine...the new stuff looks even better.

I have 255s on my car. They are very nice. I had 225s on the NA motor.

ETP is out of business,Performance Inductions is the business that Cary owns.We have used well over 20 sets of the ETP's as well as about 10 sets of the current PI LXR heads(which are basically the same as the old ETP)They are great heads,definintly more robust of a casting than anything else out there right now.

I waited 4 months for some valves and never got them. I'd never do business with them and I heard they were out of business.

Would it be possible to share you experience of the ETP/PI heads vs the All Pro's equivelant?

I am in between on the two for my 6 bolt motor.

I'm on my 4th set of heads from Cary, they are stout and handle the boost without breaking a sweat.

My bad meant Performance Inductions. Thanks for the correction.
