Although check out page 5 for Race Prep's response. Sounds like another case of the customer blaming the vendor because of the customers ignornace. My heads were ported by Race Prep and the numbers speak for themselves, Joe and Brian are great guys to deal with it's a shame people have to come on here and post their one sided stories

Lol, alright, well you have a right to your opinion. But if you'd like to come flow my heads you can. They are about 50 cfm down from what they claimed. Have you had yours independently tested? Sure the numbers they give you speak for themselves... But unless you independently test them, you don't know if they are true. I really am not here to argue with you about Race Prep's work. They do better work than 90% of shops out there.
