Yes it was and I know three cars that have added a 12bolt and lost less than 10rwhp, actually the MOST I have seen with my own eyes loose is 7rwhp. And btw, my car with its stock 10bolt and 3.42's trapped 123mph at 3550 raceweight and a 2200 DA about two months ago. All this "power loss" thru 10bolt vs. 12 bolt is blown WAY out of proportion. When I add my 12 bolt in April I may have to eat my words, but from the examples I've seen in real life (not over the internet) I won't expect to loose any more than 7rwhp.

I think the PP LS6 head is a good head and can perform as can the Absolute Speed Heads, the TEA heads and pretty much every other head sold by the vendors. I would look at what you want to do with the car first then get a good set of heads and cam designed to match it. My $.02 though.

Hell yes they are more expensive. If you want a good head that isn't that expensive I'd go for the Raging Motorsports brand head, Patriot, Absolute or Tea. All of them have made great power and can be had for less than $1700
The next set of heads I will buy will be one of these brands...
GTP, MTI, Cartek, LGM, or AFR.
