instead of making a new thread why didnt you just ask in your other one

the cost will depend on what you ultimately plan to do with them. are you going to keep them stock or use them as cores

thats what i mean though, if your going to keep them stock your better off with some stg 1 or 1.5 heads from a sponsor that will out flow and perform a stock ls6 for the same money.

well how good of friends are you with him and how much discount do you think he'd be willing to give you?

dont forget to factor in new springs and i'd throw in new vavlestem seals as well.

you can either pay the core charage and keep your heads or send in your old heads and get refunded the core charge.

you said your buying the mti stealth 2 cam right? well even if you get sold his complete assembled heads you'll need new springs for the cam. thats why you'll need add that cost to whatever you'd be paying for the heads.

dude for that price on stock heads, just get a pair of ls6 style stg 2 heads from P.P or one of their sponsors that is running a special for like $1275 i got mine for $1305 out the door thats only $100 more and they come with ready to bolt on .

or if you can stretch a little more get the MTI $1900 special they got, you get heads and cam.

oh i get it now. So if i buy his heads, i get them assembld, but for mti's cam i need an upgrade.

And for the same price i could buy PP's heads with their gold springs, and then mti's cam would work out quite nice
