Default DAMAGED OR JUNK LS1 HEADS?

Does any one out there have throaway heads? I am interested in doing porting R+D work on them. I have 12 years porting experience on all different makes, just no LS1 heads. I own my own SUPERFLOW 600 bench, and i would share this knowledge learned with any one interested.

Then, if you want to, send them to me and I will "proof" them in and report the flow numbers, and return them back to LS1derful highlighted on the inside of the runner where to make more additoinal changes then you have an S2 head. Let me know and I will do this.

JOE PRINCE, you are about the most helpfull guy ive seen who is knowledgeable on this level. That would be a great service, the purpose of all this is not to under mine any of the head porters out there especially the ones making a living by doing so. I just want to expand my airflow knowledge with my new favorite engine(LS1).
I would appreciate a little background info on you,like what you've done to get where you are and the size of your operation. Thanks.

LS1derfull, check your E-mail. BTW I have alot of junk heads that flow over 290 cfm but I wouldn't use them on my worst enemies motor. The runner/bowl geometry is off a bit, they are my old R&D heads.

Sounds good to me, this is how it works, you send them to me i do one int. and one exh. When improvements to flow stop, i stop. I will compare my #'s to competitive shops. When we are satisfied i will duplicate these to rest of ports.
I wont hurt swirl by leaving ramp in bowl alone.
I will clean and set up installed heights. You take care of shipping. This is a good deal for both of us and i can assure you im not a hack.
Let me know.

Jacobi, this offer would be only for first set of heads that i do. What i would learn giving this work away would save me thousands.I can make my car fast i cant afford to pay for it! So basically first guy to go thru with this is the only one to get the DEAL.
