All that I know is that those are the guys that do the C5R engines for the factory race team ... so they should be pretty good at what they do.

Watch out for the valvesprings. Every set of Katech heads I have heard about have had comp cams 941 springs in them which broke shortly after.

Well, I am going to go ahead and pick up the heads.

From what I can find, they seem to be pretty decent, and will work perfect with the cam I am using.
