Default Let's do a GP on Absolute Speeds Heads

I want these heads!!!! I went down to West Hampton this weekend and saw JFM's car totally spinning through 1st and 2nd gear and still managing an 11.2 ET. JFM's car has so much more in it too. I'll bet this car goes 10.8's no problem. Anyway after that I talked to Jay at AbsoluteSpeed.net and he said that they'd do a GP on the heads. He said they'd do a 10% discount on the heads when he got 5 people. This discount can be applied to any of the three heads they make. If you'd like more details about the heads go to http://www.absolutespeed.net/. So how bout it anyone interested????? Jay's number over at AbsoluteSpeed is 516-987-9392.

I may be able to pull this off, but I am not sure on the funds right now. Let's see I don't need to pay off the nine inch until the end of Dec. Dangit, I gotta really think about this one <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

I already emailed Jay about the heads and got a quote. Would be interesting if Jay would chime-in and give us his thoughts on a GP price. Someone should call him and get him to post something here....Shadow?

I think it's cheaper then that. They add $400 to the price for a core right? So a set of $1500 heads would really cost you $1100. Take 10% off of that and that's $1000 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> .

Am I reading that wrong at the web site? They had a set of heads for sale on e-bay and $400 was added to the reserve price for the grand total. Which I think I'm the only one that bid on those things. What's wrong with people??

Default Re: Let's do a GP on Absolute Speeds Heads

As per the conversation with shadow z28, there will be a 10% discount on all head prices we sell{core charges will remain the same}, with a minimun of 5 sales, all pricing and information are on the web site www.absolutespeed.net, If any one has any questions feel free to call 516-987-9392, or email tech@absolutespeed.net, we can help you make the best selection, As I stated before all heads we offer are race proven, evident by jfm's last post absolute speed stg2 thunder 224 cam 11.27/119.7{in internal eng}
