took a buddy of mine almost 8 weeks to get his from them, and never came with flow sheets (which were asked for) or guide plates (lt1 heads), then they didnt send the cam with it and that took another 2 weeks.

Since you got the heads through LS1 speed you would think they would help pay the shipping or something. But WTF do I know most places are a-hole and dont help you out in situation like this. For $2800 they should pay to have them overnighted and give you some free gaskets its not like its your fault you had to take the car apart again its theres!

with tea and patriot heads making good numbers, gtp's days are probably numbered unless they come way down on their prices.


just my 2 cents. i usually dont add fuel to the fire, but i have seen a few people fight with gtp over this same sort of thing.

I know I'm walking into a **** storm here, but try talking to Craig personally, he is a sensible guy and he will make it right one way or another, just give that a shot, after that, I wouldn't know what to say.

Joe.

Next time just buy JPR heads I called Joe on a set of Stage IIs and left a message. He called me back the NEXT morning at 9am and answered ALL of my questions without hesitation. Awesome customer service and pretty badass prices too.

To me, in the LS1 industry performance is so close it truly comes down to whos gonna take care of you the best.

Sorry about your mis-fortune man, I have seen some badass #s from GTP, hopefully you will get atleast that much from this situation

I'm not going to touch the head situation, but I do want to
say if I was a vendor, hearing this out of a customer,
I wouldn't want to do any favor's for you either.

Just my opinion. You'll win more bees with honey,
or something like that.

I've been fucked by GTP too. Cut the guy some slack. All of you would just as pissed off. I dealt with Craig in person, and he is an *******. Good luck with your situation.

Damn thats a little too long to wait for heads. I am in the same boat as you but so far have been waiting about 2 months. I have talked to Logan and also Craig, Craig seems like a cool guy and last time I talked to him he said the shop had been put a little back due to personal matters? I paid cash and hope to get a set of good performaning heads, other wise there might be some problems. I have tracking on everything from the tracking # for when they arived at the shop to the money order I sent him that he cashed. So I hope its just that there running slow. I still have faith in them though. Call Craig up and talk to him about everything, emails are a waste of time it seems. Good luck

I was given a brand new set of stage 2's from gtp with bad valve giudes. Car smoked bad. Swapping the heads fixed the problem. NEw bronze guides by an independent shop fixed the gtp heads. I've posted it a dozen times. Just search a bit.
