should make pretty decent power with those.... I am assuming you have a 4 bolt block and not the 6 bolt??? or you would have gone with the 6 bolt heads correct?

Yeah I am still running the 6.0 block. I thought about getting the six bolt for later but was kinda on a time table. So didn't have time. EPT told me I could send them back later and they could weld the tabs on if I want.

I don't think you can go wrong with ET Heads. They are top notch quality.
I just hate the extra cost for the rocker arm stands.

Stands not needed with comps. ETP told me about 3 to 400 to weld on later.

Yeah i went on there site and saw the stand were around $100.
Now if the heads you have bought are say a 72cc chamber and later on ya want the tabs welded on..... wont they have to mill the deck of the heads?? ie so the chambers will get smaller??

Head's look great. They are definatly a big step up from the patriot's!
Those patriot's have the same deck height as my dart's I believe. My AFR's will hopefully help eliminate the water pushing also! congrat's on the new head's!

I have never bought a set of ETP lsx heads without stands. Usually most vendors include them in the purchase price.

What tabs are you reffering to ? I personally would pass on the Comp rockers unless you plan on runnign Morel lifters. The rocker is so heavy it really make the spring selection dicey. My advice would be to call ET and talk to Craig.

Craig said they could turn my 4 bolt heads into 6 bolt by welding the tabs on.
