Does anyone know how good they are?The stageII heads have 2.020/1.575 and with exchange are 1799.The LS6 heads with exchange are 2320.That sounds like a pretty good price to me.Anyone here run them? <img border="0" alt="[pimp]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_pimp.gif" />

I'd like to know this also. I assume they would be pretty good. Katech builds some of the C5R race engines.

Yeah I know they hit the mark with the C5R block and heads.I was wondering if anyone had first hand knowledge of the LS1 heads.

if your looking for bang for the buck. you should talk to joe prince (JPR)his S2's are very competative in price and make great power.

Bang for the buck? There's a shop in IN i think that does heads for 3-digit prices (this is just porting but he will assemble them for you as well i believe).

I cant say who though (non-sponsor).

i guess you can email me (as long as that doesnt upset any sponsors here).

There is a sponsor here name o' Nick Agostino. Great service and good bang-for-the-buck, too. http://www.agostino-racing.com/ls1.html

And, his heads are even cheaper at Tom's:

I'd be doing *at least* the 2.055 x 1.60...

i have seen one set f there heads.
they did not perform as planned and when swapped out to a non sponsors head, the car picked up almost 50 rwhp.

that is the only dealing i have had with there heads. they have other parts that are well engineered tho.

dont know if the results where a fluke on that car or not since it s the only set i have seen.

I had a set of StageII heads and a cam
from Ka-Tech.

I did a best of 12.1 @116mph with them.

I'm using a new setup from Speed Demon Motorsports and its putting down some nice #'s. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Best bang for the buck might have to go to the LS6 heads that are CNC ported, offered direct through GM. Part # are in the recent Car Craft.

I might just know of a red 01 Formula that may end up with a set of them on it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Oh well, good for some, not for others.
