My first ARE H/C set up dynoed 373 RWHP 370 RWTQ back in 2000, that's when the only option for tuning was Ed Wright mail order which left alot to be desired.
After trying to make the car run the number I called Nick and he told me to send the heads back for an update, he also swapped my cam, with that and an LS6 intake the car picked up 32 RWHP and 10 ftlbs and also picked up under the entire curve as well.
Dyno numbers were 405 RWHP 380 RWTQ and that was on a conservative dyno.
Ran consistent 11.5's @ 119-121 MPH with a 3550 lb raceweight.
The car will make over 400 RWHP with the revised heads.
Good luck!

ARE stands behind their customers 100%! They have handled my situation about the old set of heads with the best customer service I have ever seen! They replied to my PM's VERY quickly and Nick was very much willing to help me out. I know they didn't have to do this and that alone makes me want to stick with ARE for aslong as I keep racing! 
thanks ARE/Nick,
Rick

Where did Nick Agostino go for a while ? Nick
I was just wondering , You said in a earlier post that you were back but in a different manner to help. Do you still own ARE ? Im glad your back because I almost decided that I was going to take my 2002 WS6 M6 to ...................... LINGENFELTERS, to far away.
Anyway this is great news.
Also, who makes Grottyohann Headers? is there a website?
P.S. if you need to borrow my car to test out some goodies, let me know.
Can I keep the goodies?

The Bull
The Grotyohann header design is now available in a header made by both Quick Time Performance and Thunder Racing. There are likely some new departures from the original design, but those should be a bonus.

The car's coming to you in a couple of weeks for some warranty work and some tweaks. Wade's been very helpful and I'm looking forward to the changes. Hope to talk with you as well.

Little update I knoooooooow i haven't gotten the heads back yet, and by no means am i "brown nosing"...... but- being that this will be my biggest mod to date, its safe to say i have had several questions (regarding the heads, when he recieved them, when i'll have them back, etc, etc) anyway everytime i pm Nick- he responds right away with an answer to my questions and i just figured i'd post about it, the people on here that have had experience with $HITTY CUSTOMER SERVICE im sure can appreciate what im saying 
anyway, the next time i post in this thread will be my before and after dyno results- WITH TRACK TIMES!
