I just sent him my JPR S2 LS6 heads. He is going to rework them, port them to his S3 and put in bigger valves. He told me 3-4 weeks and I hope he wasnt kidding. There is no way in hell I can wait 10 weeks for my heads. If we here from him please post up. Later.

Three months for me as well. With my tiny tr224/114 cam, I went from the 380's to 405 with no tuning on the computer. Not even with the cam itself. Still stock tune and rev limiter. Tuning this Sat.!!!

Jay has spent the past month running back and forth between 2 shops. He is now settled in his new shop and will be getting the heads out alot faster. Heads will be shipped in 3-4 weeks.

on the **** list? you gotta be kidding me. So what some poeple had to wait, but atleast they get good quality heads that actually produce the #'s. Quality doesnt get rushed out the door.


Good things come to those who wait.

Nice first post.

Not everyone has to wait 3 months, the average is 6 weeks, there was alot of orders I took after the sale was up and I extended the sale to them, they had to wait the longest. I moved to a new location for the purpose of quicker production, We have to all remember I dont send out a set of heads without flow checking every port and checking install hight and tension of every spring, Maybe this is why no one ever hears of any problems or has to pull there heads back off for errors that shouldnt happen in the first place.

Also remember I sell alot of heads to LG motorsports, thunder racing, TTP and other shops that order 5 or more sets at a time. They get priority and often stock my heads if anyone needs them fast.

Im always working to improve my product for the consumers, its not about the buck for me its about offering the best on the market. If you want the best you know were to look www.absolutespeedls1.net
