Stupid is as stupid does.... I got a set of heads as a X-MAS present from my wife.
But when i went to install them, i forgot to take the old set out...
I knew there was something wrong the minute i placed them on the car...

I haven't decided yet;
Ferrea, Manley, or maybe GM sodium filled valves.
Ferrea is local, there right around the corner from me...
Manley is a Great Company, I have used there products many,many, times without a hitch...
GM is another possibility, but believe it or not there more expensive than Ferrea and Manley Valves...
I have a set of PAC-1518 0.650"Lift, Nitrided Beehive springs that are definitely going in.
I'm keeping the stock valve seals.
OH' I almost forgot the best part, I'm porting and polishing the heads......that's why i didn't get the CNC heads in the first place.....This will be the fourth set that i port and polish..... I use "B n T" instead of "cnc"....LMAO
I posted a thread yesterday, regarding Roller rockers for these heads, i need to order some Rockers no matter what, Remember; the intake is Offset.... if i get the stock L92 Rockers, i will also need the Rocker support stands/pedestals, #12600936...
but if i get a set of 1.7 Shaft Roller Rocker Arms, like Comp, scorpions, Harland sharp, Jesel, ect,ect............ "do i still have to get the Rocker Support Stands/Pedestals?"

The Shaft mount units should come with there own stands (Comp and Jessel).
Yella Terra makes an Adjustable and a Non Adjustable 1.7 for the LS3/L92 heads. They are shaft mount between the intake and exhaust rocker but not a full length shaft system. They run a lot less then the Comp or Jessel Shaft setups (like $425 -vs- $1100).
What are you going to do with the Ported LS2 manifold???
Part # YT 6667 (1.7" non adjustable), YT 6668 (1.7" adjustable), or YT 6685 (1.85" non adjustable)
Link: http://www.yellaterra.com.au/product...goryIdentity=4
Looking around I found a couple of vendors that carry them:
Vengeance has them for $469 (go under G8 GT/ head & valve train/ rocker arms.
New Era Performance has them listed for $429
I didn't check shipping on either site.
Google shopping came up with a lowest price of $419 from SBX performance (never heard of them and I don't think they are a sponsor).

the ported LS2 intake will be sold once i install my L92 set up......so will the heads...... the heads were freshened up at 9000 miles, and have about 3000 miles after they were freshened up.My Goat IS AN 06 A4 with 12000 original miles, i bought it new in 07 with 5 miles on the Clock. It's a Spice Red Metallic, that color was only made for the 06 model Year....
when i purchased my car, all the Pontiac dealerships down my way had 12 to 17 GTO's in the lot, all colors, Stick or Auto, they've been sitting there for over a year, they couldn't sell them, gas prices were sky rocketing and they were consider a gas guzzler, I knew that!!! i also knew they had the "Bad *** LS2" in them also.... I walked out with mine for $24.5 out the door, and never looked back...lol
