Heads are going to be taken to a flowbench on Monday that way I'll at least have a case if I have to file a claim through Paypal.

LT1 heads, I can tell quite about about them. After looking at my LS heads, I realized I didn't know much so that's why I am asking now.

dont have to post the whole auction just the pics in question...good luck

Don't sweat it. Everyone's been ripped off on the 'net before I think. I once bought a valve spring compressor off the internet. When that stucker came in, I swear it was 1/10 of the size it was in the pictures. There was no way it would work on a SBC/LS1 head. It would have been better off on a keychain or hanging on my rearview mirror.

well .... it's ported .... but might be what Studytime said .... even if the flow is less/equal/slightly better what would be the claim and the reason where you think you'll win? any lie in the add?

No not in the ad, but in a question reponse he sent me. I've copied and pasted: "Not sure of the chamber but springs are good for 600 the heads flowed over 325 cfms if that helps."

I believe the springs are stock too. When the flow sheet reads 240 I believe I can put this thing to bed pretty easily.

I've done the Paypal process twice and won both times. With solid evidence like a flowsheet, there's no denying it. He e-mailed me back last night, said he's tried contacting machinist. Said he's on vacation right now. I think the machinist duped this guy too.

There is no way in hell those heads flowed 325 CFM (unless he's measuring them at at absurd depression).

Yeah like I said, I took a chance that what he was saying was correct. I hate to pay $75 to get them flowed but it'll at least build me a case. I'll try it recoop that too when I file a Paypal claim.
