Default usefull guide to buying used absolute speed heads

To everyone considering buying my used heads from other people. Just to clear things up, I am seeing alot of my older heads and some people claiming there selling my heads turning up on for sale sections and other classifieds. Please get serial numbers off the heads first and call me 516-987-9392. I will tell you if they are mine, how old they are and how they will perform. Always keep in mind my origanal stg2 heads are not as advanced as my newer styl stg2. While the older heads were great for the time when one of the larger cams was the tr224, they will not be able to support the cams of today and perform like my new stg2 heads. I have had 5 different stg2 ports designs from the time I started the ls1 heads a few years ago untill now.

You can always call or email to see what used and trade in heads I have for sale also

Jay,

You are a top notch guy!!! I don't think any other sponsor would do what you do. I'm glad I bought my heads from you... I might need to sell/trade my stage 2 heads in about 10-12 months due to a 408 CI going in my car. What do you recommend for a 4.30 bore with about 10.5 CR? I can't use a 241 head can I? Maybe a 6.0L head?

Keep up the good work!!!

Bill Wright

You won't be sorry, and you won't be posting that your numbers are low or that your heads failed. Jay is a top notch guy to deal with, you made a wise decision, IMO.

Also If you do buy a set of used heads privately, Just send them to me and I will check them out for free. shipping to and from will only be required. Then After they are checked with my approval I will back them with the same warrenty I offer on new purchases. Feel free to contact me at sales@absolutespeedls1.net with any questions

Now dont go givin the store away with free warrantees... There is excellent service and there is smart business....Basically that means if every time my warrantee gets close to expiring I can get a free extended warrenty by simply sending them to you for inspection.
Funny thing is, I wasnt aware you offerred warrantees...
Now get back to work!
