Default RGR Heads???

Anybody seen these heads from www.ls1speed.com?? I haven't seen any related posts or topics about this company. anyone have these heads with track times?

It says on there website that the stage II heads are, i believe, 1699 which is not a bad price at all!! But then again, in the back of my head i hear a lil voice saying, "you get what you pay for" <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Thanks for any help.

Alonzo,
that was along the same lines that I was thinking. They seem like quality heads. I just haven't seen any E.T.'s with them.

I think you should buy Cartek heads/cam so we can have a east coast west coast tuner grudge match. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Maybe some GTP heads? I need a bigger stall though and a lot of weight reduction to even come close to hanging with you <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> You need to go back to your 224MMS cam and ST-3800 days <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

RedRamAir: please post results as soon as you get some track times!! thanks for the help.

Very very interested as well. Everyone says good things about these heads but I've only heard of one person with any numbers. He dynoed at just over 400 I think. I'm hoping to get around 420 and dunno if these heads will do it.

We don't have a dyno in these parts.Not that I am aware of anyway,but as soon as I can get them on and get to the track I will let you know.Speed Inc. told me on wednesday to call back next thursday and they would give me an update on when the headers will be in.They are having a problem in getting a shipment from SLP or something.
