Absolute Speed update
Well, I posted in the other thread, I have given up and contacted my cc company to dispute the charges. It shouldn't take 5 months to get a cam shaft.
I may even sell my intake, heads and tb. I am not sure I want to keep anything on my car thats from him right now. He has really let me down.

I need to get his *** on the phone now too. HE just finished up my car (when I say he I mean he swapped my heads and my cam) and I brought it over to Cartek for a tune. The car only put down 410rwhp when Jay told me it'd put down like 430-440. I'm happy with 410 but for heads that are supposed to flow 318cfm @ 600 lift I'd have been better off keeping my old heads and stuffing a bigger cam in. I've been trying to get a hold of him and he hasn't called me back. I'm really starting to get angry.

If anyone is waiting on some AS 5.3's I am selling mine. Not the latest design but damn good flow numbers. Check out the thread. https://ls1tech.com/forums/lsx-parts-sale/252161-fs-absolute-speed-stage-ii-5-3l-heads.html
I gave up on absolute and bought some 5.3 heads from Total Engine Airflow. He had a set of 5.3 heads in stock like i wanted them and i got them the same week. GIve Brian a call hes a great guy to deal with.

Guys I went through this myself with JPR and I can tell you that if you want some decent heads quickly than a good shop to use is APE. I know they are not the most popular as far as heads are concerned but you will not have to wait and you can always get in contact with them and I bet they have the heads in stock for whatever you need + some good flow #s to match.
Call me an APE nutswinger but give em a call and you'll see that from experience Im just trying to help some brothers out.

Not to be a d*ck or anything, but even though I'm sure APE does good work, most of these people in this thread including myself are already out a fair sum of money for Absolute heads and don't have any more to be shelling out another 2 grand on top of what they already paid for another set of heads. If I was a rich guy I may have already shelled out some more for another set of heads to tide me over until I could get my absolute ones back. Instead my car has been sitting in the garage with the hood up with no insurance and hasn't run in about a year now.

Indeed. If I never get my heads from Jay, then I'm never getting heads for my car. It took me a LONG time to save the funds $$ necessary to purchase the heads, and even a LONGER time to convince my wife that they were "needed". If my Stage-II LS6 heads are never returned to me from Jay, then my car will forever have stock LS1 heads. Its pretty simple; I can't afford to spend another chunk of change on the same item........

no problem,, sorry to butt in. I just feel sad in my stomach when I read all this stuff cause it happened to me. I lost my money and never got a good set of heads and infact I was lied to about my heads and my tune from JPR which caused me to have to scrap my stock motor completely. So not only did I lose my head money but I also had to buy a new longblock. Talk about shitty!!
