What i was saying about the price of the two heads are in comparison to PRC heads and lingenfelter heads. Both of these are amazing companies that have produced great products. So if one company is less then the other isn't necessarily a bad thing if you can save a few bucks.

I can get access to a Superflow 1020 Flowbench. Id love to flow a few different heads indepentantly. I have a Stock L92/LS3 head and a Lingenfelter CNC head. Id love to get my hands on one WCCH, Livernois, etc... and see how they all compare.

Larry Meaux is so good and so busy that asking him for a bargain price would be insulting, in my opinion. He's such a nice guy that he probably wouldn't get angry, however.

94, have you ever worked with or bought heads from Larry?

I have Texas Speed PRC L92s. Ported and milled 0.030" with a cam that some rocket scientists here said I wouldn't even be able to run. They were cheap, delivered quickly, and I was very pleased with Texas Speed and the heads. I've put about 20,000 miles on them, and the car runs like a raped ape.

Depending on which rocket scientist you believe, if I removed my Volant and disconnected my Flowmaster Super 40s, I'd be well over 450.

Knowing what to do (or not do) is so very important. That is what makes LM's work valuable.
