Oh if dude did that....yea God still with me...Houston We have a Problem...cleanup needed on isle 3. Or he fixing everything. You fix the heads and it runs hot ...gasket? Yeah he's figuring this out...free or clean up isle 3. I may by a head gasket or w/p small stuff.... But a Whole engine. Man i ain't stupid. I got a few dogs that get down 4 me so i'm deep. Clean up isle 3.

Car came in good ..leaves sµittttty.

Again couldn't happen 2 me. God Knows. Never really f'ed with the guy's u used. My Take is i did better leaving it like it was, and buy a aftermarket head/work done and have my own mechanic Elisha put the heads on. No worries. I have a builder and mechanic...he's killer with R&R and all maintenance: engines,trans, to wiring. I don't ask him to build.

U need to post on YB, SpeedTalk, FB, man i'd * F him on FB.

From D 8:32am : Yes I did.

Me:
Well what are our thoughts... We got some good Texas rivalry... Mast has all the LS bases covered. Can you please shut the door on the ls7 stuff. Greg has CID heads. Chris has some 10 degree - 5.9 length ls7 heads. Mamo and his tfs 265 cc port that flows 425' ish with a 2.230 valve ....posted last night that Mast ls7 heads would be just as good as anyone listed before Darin. Can only get better! Also You need to beat out the CID intake.
Nothing' but
Luv Uncle Darin...


Btw have so many guys I follow on FB didn't even notice it, also busy.

I was thinking the same. From what I hear it's pretty tough to top the MAST head so he will have some work cut out for him. Like stated, it's Cary's design so I doubt if you have to reinvent the wheel going from the best to the best of the best! Hahahaha

Darin: Yea, you kind of did but I do that all the time. Lol
Mast is going to be a sponsor on ls1 tech real soon. I have the advertising department working overtime. I can then post things about the company and new products.

Me: On it...they can't ban me for a text conversation...also been xxxx x times... LMAO. They said a factory ls7 head doesn't fit a smaller bore. That doesn't apply to us.

You must don't know Darin ( ported WCCH heads no runner work + 15 to 20 cfm or better said the same dumb term it had the same amount of CC *old Vette thread 454 Darin ported WCCH) Heads have came a long way and intakes.... Mast intake is outed by CID. Mast heads where the be st available and some of the fastest Still is. Updated! Version 2.0 F your cylinder heads. What you guys should ask is for a low profile intake that supplies 400 cfm below 8k. I figure if you got a 400+ cfm head with a 370 'ish intake, my cheap stuff is just as good as your better stuff I Can place 370ish cfm to the piston àlso. Luv a 4500 carb intake.

I did say there looks to be a new port style. Added if it gets crazy ....Darin already stated that a good head doesn't have a pretty port. Burr Finish with a CNC program?

You guys don't know Darin & Chad S. they're like brothers. Go to Chad's site and read about a ruff Burr finish.

I actually noticed this on my Mast heads before I installed them. Looked to be able to do a little "better" porting but I talked to Chad about it and he didn't think it was worth it !?

If he said it ...it golden. He uses the Burr on a number heads and shows results. Again if Chad said it ...it's golden. I like the fact that Darin can do anything I can think or dream of. Also answer any? He has a class.

In NYC ..... every place is the same.

You know what... The heads may all be the same yet with a new port design and intake to match.


8 million people in NYC, Houston only has 2.x something yet we have double the sq miles in land area. To put into thought to a person from Houston. New York has 8 million living inside the 610 loop.

Actually I gotta say, I think mast ls3 stuff is second to none for reals. The in line valve ls7 stuff is nowhere near the canted valve stuff. But lots of ppl cannot adapt the splayed valves etc or do not want to for the few options on intake and rockers.

I think Darin will be a godsend to their in line ls7 product line.
