Katech CNC
Im feeling the dilemma as well lol. Bought the car knowing it needednengine work. Snowballed and I'm rebuilding it completely....do I spring for the extra 500 head porting or is the money better spent elsewhere. Lol. I agree about katech though. Usually top notch stuff.

Yep. So this very thread was let’s see how these crappy heads respond to a half *** cheap ****** rebuild ?? To here’s the engine and cam combo build up and now in the homestretch with a car/install/conversion. This will get a wheel number and if I know my buddy at all; his wife will beat the **** outta this thing at the drag strip. And she’ll prolly tell him it needs nitrous or something

How very true. You can check back on like page three for my flow numbers as I’m just “joe-die grinder” and anyone can rely on the lapped in GM valve job to seal so my results are or will be what anyone could expect
The LS1 type stuff may now only represent 3%or less of they’re business as they’re cutting edge LT nowadays.
Pretty sure the website shows all the boxing labeling instructions once you’re ready to go. Jason was/is a really busy guy. Much like Tony Mamo; all the good ones are difficult to get a piece of.

Verdad Gallardo Jason responded to my email. Apparently they're going to update it in a couple weeks with more information and possibly flow numbers so we'll see what they say. I would be a pretty good candidate to work with them if they want to show numbers etc on the 243's. We'll see.
They just did a set of 243's for me last week. I did a CC polish and a cartridge roll cleanup on them in a couple area's the cnc didn't touch but, they look money. I'm working on the 4l80e and fuel, exhaust and then I can start it.

Refresh from page three. IMO about a dozen or so CFM left on the table that another $200 dollar valvejob could capture.
