With everyones help here I determined for myself that an extra thousand today will save me more money tomarrow. Unfortunately, I am now realising that this $5K investment is just the beginning. After I go broke doing this I'll need to dump more money in a Transmission that'll handle this power. Then suspension upgrades. Then a roll bar/cage and all other required safety stuff to run 10's. Then a 12 bolt. By then the tranny will likely need some refreshing. Did I mention rims and tires yet?
PANDORAS BOX IS NOW OPEN
But I expect this will be a fun ride

This is a post talking about buying buget heads verses buy good heads. Im just leting everyone know the experiance I had going the buget rought.
After hering what I went though and you buy the cheap heads anyway, don't cry to loud if two years later you are spending a few more thawsand dollars for the same thing you have already paid for once.
Good luck!

Hell If I made a negative post about every FLP tranny that has gone through warrenty I would have an extra 400 posts under my name. I however understand that **** happens. FLP takes care of me and thats all I ask.
Now as far as the stock heads go.
Unless you were using a LS6 head those numbers are way off.
I could care less if you dont believe me. You are calling BS on 2 of LS1tech most experienced LS1 head guys. Make it 3 when you nclude Bo White who is a former LS1 head porter.
I have had over 20 sets of my personal heads on a flow bench locally now and the 3 stock LS1 heads I have seen were all mine. A set of 853 LS1 heads, a set of 241 LS1 heads, and a set of 5.3 heads.
So I assure you my numbers aren't BS.
Also I have seen at least 5 different stock LS1 heads flowed by sponsors. Simple fact is they dont flow that well.
Simple proof is seen by looking at the guys spending 750+ dollars for LS6 heads to put on their car. This was a popular mod back in the day when the price of ported heads was through the roof. I can assure you if stock non ported LS1 heads flowed that well then the LS6 swap would have been pointless.
Again please dont mix up what I am saying.
My post was directed at the newby's on here that might think every person who buys PP heads has a problem. This is very untrue.

Thanks again.
Thanks again.
BTW nice choice.
I am a ET dealer and have been very happy with their product so far.
They are making some nice products to join AFR as a top notch head company.
