I don't think he ever really cared to defend cheap heads, just to put another set of real world results on the table. From what I have read, he has not loss of integrity returning with bad results from the heads, due to the fact he was never defending them, just wanted see how they preform.

Besides all that, I am very interested in seeing how they preform. He should post back, (I hope so) no matter what the results. I don't think anyone should give him any disrespect. He is doing us all a favor. My .02

Um... You do realize that I posted pictures AND flow numbers for these paper weights, right? He basically called me a liar by saying my numbers were "fudged". He went to great lengths to defend these heads in several posts.

Nope. Just giving people REAL information about junk. I'd hope others would do the same to prevent me from wasting my money. Obviously, you aren't capable of grasping that fact. You might actually learn something from these forums if youd just pay attention to FACTS, instead of arguing with them.

I'm with you stevecritt, tired of showvette posting in here. If there hadn't been all this back and forth between Harshreality and showvette, we would probably had seen results by now, good or bad.

LOL.. Are you for real? What in the hell do my posts have to do with his results? I'm the one who has actually posted proof for people with a brain to see. Obviously you fall outside that category.

Frank,

I get your point dude but you have to understand, there are a whole lot of other people that would like a second opinion. I'd like to see a second opinion on these as well even if they are crap heads (which I'm pretty sure they are anyway). That way if his results turn out to be the same as yours then we can all agree and say "Look, showvette was telling the truth after all!"

Just chill out and enjoy the show, if and when he posts results on these heads, take it easy and give him the credit for giving us all yet another reason why we should stay away from these Chinese paper weights.

At this point, why are you still watching this thread? All I have seen you do is insult anyone who questions what you have posted. It is obvious that you believe these are junk heads. You have a total of 29 posts here, 23 are in this thread, and you keep posting like you own the place, why?

Every post you make just makes you look more like the childish ******** that you are.

BTW, thanks for keeping track of my thread count. As if it's any of your business, I am new to the LS world, but I've been building cars and racing for well over 20 years. I joined this forum because we're building a 2001 Corvette that these heads were supposed to be for. I had the 9th fastest "Bolt On' LT car in the country in '02. My Z has been in GM High Tech twice as well as Chevy High Performance. I also have a '70 Camaro that runs 9.70. Pay real close attention, *******. I'm new to LS motors but I can guarantee you I know more about Performance and racing as a whole than you do. That being said, I know what flow numbers mean, and I know when someone falsly advertises a product. I didn't hack some S10 up and throw a junkyard motor in it!

No offense but how does that have any bearing on the original point of this thread?


Thanks for sharing your results, we need more of that instead of shitty E-mechanics and E-enginebuilders/tuners giving their random useless .02's that they regurgitate or recycle from others in this section.

Its become apparent that these heads are "hit or miss", you and thompson motorsports have clarified this.

Now i would love to see the results from the OP. Just to clarify im not interested in purchasing these heads.

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. I do not know if these are the same heads we tested with certaninty, just be careful. If you do not have the money to throw away you might want to look for something that is known good.

I meant in the sense of them being usable. Thats usually the problem with cheap ebay products though, no quality control.
