They are ETP blanks, sent to RHS and then RHS's CNC program put into them.

I would expect similiar performance as that of the ETP's which I personally have and am very happy with as are others...

Good luck!

Have you looked into TrickFlows? They are making awesome power.

The thing that turned me away from the TrickFlow heads were their price. I don't understand how they figure charging that much for a set of heads is justifiable. I am deeply looking at RHS heads though, they seem to be right on the money, and flow what the TrickFlows do as well.

They are right in line with AFR and ETP, other than the fact you need to shell out more for roller rockers.

they're pretty damn close to the etp's (a little cheaper then etp's website) and about what afr's were when they came out... don't really understand your logic

Fully assembled RHS heads are about $1800. Fully Assembled TrickFlow heads are $2400. To me, that is ridiculous. Why is there such a big price gap?

Thats what I was thinking. When I saw $1800.00 I was thinking WTF...Sweet.

Too bad they are so damned expensive. I bought an RHS short block in 1994 and have never had any problems with it. I was surprised when I read they closed the doors. Its nice that Comp has chosen to bring them back.

I would imagine that makes them the most expencive head then. I was about to buy what I thought was a set, since that were flowing what I needed, now I may have to wait it out to get the TrickFlow heads, they seem to be the best.

That price is stupid! $3600 for heads........wow!
