Re: MTI stage 2 LS6 heads and X1 install complete!
That would be just for the heads! The cam is probably another $400.

Total = 4750. He said 3990 plus 1250 core so maybe there was computer tuning in there too? That runs $400 to $500 and would put it right around there. You can get $400 to $500 back for LS1 heads if you sell them. Still a pricey endeavor for an extra 15 to 20 hp so I went with the S2 LS1 heads. I was going to get the C2 cam but I think everyone has talked me into the X1. Emissions should be fun.

what do you mean by an extra 15 to 20 hp. Bajeesus! I must have just bolted on over a 100 at the tires. Maybe I am a little confused by what you said though. Yeah and with this cam you can forget passing the sniffer test. Hope they have OBDII in your area soon!

Re: MTI stage 2 LS6 heads and X1 install complete!
They are in the industrial area of Totem Lake in Kirkland. They are a bit more expensive than anyone else but they also cater to the Viper and Ferrari crowds. They also owe me one from the last time I was there, when they couldnt get my stick pulley off the car. But make no mistake about it, these boys know what they are doing. Alex there is a very "Good" guy to know, especially when it comes to.....emmi........Carb connections a good place for "tuning".

Re: MTI stage 2 LS6 heads and X1 install complete!
I mean LS1 vs LS6 heads, with stock bore I've been told 15 to 20 rwhp diff. For beyond that they're well worth it, but at this point I don't see myself boring. OK maybe I'm boring, but I won't be boring the engine!
