Re: slp h/c I will man up and admin it.
I have SLP Heads.
They are basically your average Stage 1 ported heads nothing special, 2.00" intake 1.55" exhaust.
Back in mid 2001 I wanted a head/cam package, but I was on a budget at the time. All the stage 2 heads were a little too pricy. At the time SLP was a good brand name for aftermarket parts, so I thought I could trust em. Back then I spent $1900 on the SLP heads with SLP springs retainer etc..
I actually ran them with the stock cam for a few months. Then I threw a Thunder 224/224-112 cam in the car. The car semmed to have as much power as my friends 01 SS with S2 and a TR224 cam. It took about 6 months of daily driving and racing on weekends for the SLP springs to give out to the TR224. This was just this past December. I took the heads to a local machine shop and had them do a vavle job and deck the 3 sides(block, intake, exhaust) of the heads. I also ditched the SLP springs and went with REV dual springs from Thunder.
My SS is as fast as ever right now, but I will admit if I could do it all over again I would tell SLP to kiss my *** and I would have bought GTP S2 heads or similar in a second. As it is right now I think most of SLP's part suck. Almost all of the SLP parts I have bought since day 1, I have had to replace because they didn't hold up.
I would ignore the SLP H/C package, pay a few extra bucks for some quality ported heads that you are going to have for a long time. I'm looking to upgrade my heads, but because of the cost of heads I'm going to wait till the end of this coming racing season.

Re: slp h/c A few weeks back I was set on getting a SLP head cam package... I did some research into other heads / cams packages. I talked to several people in reference to their products. And my final conclusion, the SLP package sux....
Don't get me wrong, their products are good, I really like their headers, except for the clearance issues.. But there are better head/cam choices out there at comparable prices...
I am looking for the same thing.. A highly streetable car that will not look to shabby if I did run it at a track...
I have a 2000 SS M6 Trans. SLP cat back exhaust, Slp air box lid, Slp smooth bellows, K&N air filter, BBK throttle Body, Granatelli Maf, 160' thermostat,Auburn High Torque differential with 3:42 gears... I ordered Hooker LT's today. My only other plans at this time is possibly a LS6 intake and 4:10 gears, which I am not too defenite on the gears yet... That is besides a H/C package... Idle quality is important/streetability is important. And of course the most HP for the buck. I would like to order something by the end of next week...
Any sponsors of this board have and cost effective packages they can recommend??? Please feel free to send me a PM or post.......

Re: slp h/c Guys -
we just finished a revision on our head and cam package:
heads:
CNC ported LS1 heads
Milled to 63.5 cc
2.02" Manley intake
1.575" Manley exhaust
Manley NexTek springs
Manley Ti retainers
Cam:
571/571 - 228/228 112LS 112ICL
PCM:
Dyno tuned with LS1 edit and wideband
We did a 2002 M6 Camaro last week, 429 SAE RWHP
I think for the price, you can't beat it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
