Small bore 225 LS1 heads with the larger valves. Patriot Gold Extreme springs properly installed. Milled to 58cc. Coolant passages fully and independently tested. Heads have less than 200 miles, springs have less than 100 miles. I paid $2,550 for the heads and springs. I need to get $2,000 for them. I will split the shipping cost with you.

These heads made ridiculous power on my stock bottom end. 443 rwhp through a huge 5200 rpm converter, unlocked and through a 12 bolt with 4.10's. PTV clearance is better than stock because of the 11 degree valve angle.

why are you gettin rid of them?

These are some badass heads

 

I changed to TFS heads because I thought the ETP heads were causing my engine to overheat. As it turns out it could not have been the heads. They were thoroughly pressure tested and everything checked out perfectly. It must have been a combination of my radiator going bad, partial blockage of the radiator and my electric water pump. It was a nightmare hunting down the problem and in the end I was stuck with two different sets of great heads. I chose to stick with the TFS heads because they were on my car and I didn't want to have to do yet another head swap.

 

Good price. But I was also told, to run these heads, you had to maybe modify the brackets or something? Could someone maybe elaborate on this?

 

pm sent hope to hear from you

 

Rocker stands for stock rockers I'm pretty sure.

 

The rocker stands are included and are on the heads. Below is a graph of my gains from just these heads. Keep in mind my car has a lot going against it (unlocked huge stall, 12 bolt, 4.10 gears) so these numbers are huge out of a stock bottom end. The torque gains are even more impressive.

Sorry to get side tracked, but I remember your posts during your troubles.
I think it would be cool of you to post an apology to ETP. You were pretty hard on them.
Not trying to be a dick......

 

pm sent Thanks a lot

 

yeah, the rockerstands are modified because of the valve angle, but what about the accessory bolt holes? I had heard that they also have to be modified or something... thats what I was wondering about..

 

and bump for a great price, on some killer heads.

 

Badass heads for a damn good price, I can't believe these haven't sold yet.

 

Damn.. these would be perfect for my max effort street/strip heads/cam setup, but I dont even have the car running yet that this would go into.

So I am just too far from that buying point.

I am looking for a set of used ET 225s for the Ls1, or the TFS 215s, both seem to be putting out some serious numbers and have more PTV than the stock heads.

Would I need different pushrods with these heads?

 

Yes you would. I have the pushrods for these heads but there would be an additional charge for them.

A lot of you have requested pictures. Here they are.

I can vouch for these heads. We put them on Derricks engine when we originally assembled the longblock. The heads were in great shape when we put them on. TTT for a good guy!

First of all I was hard on them because they gave me the run around for months on a set of $500 lifters I sent to them. Not until after I posted about my troubles on this website did they replace the lifters. I tore into them numerous times over the phone and sent dozens of angry emails and never got action out of them until I posted here and then immediately they responded. I asked them to buy the heads back from me or replace them and they did neither. All I could get out of anyone was to get the supplier I purchased them from to have the heads pressure tested. He did and he swears they are fine. So what am I supposed to do? Put them on my shelf in my room for decoration? This is a $2,550 product we are talking about. I don't know about you but I'm not into spending $2,550 on a shelf ornament.

I have told everyone who has seriously inquired about these heads. I have even offered to fully refund the buyer if they encounter the same problems I did as well as compensate them some money for part of the labor. Now you tell me if this is right, sir? Me, the customer having to stand behind a sponsor's product because they won't?!? So I'll be damned if I'm going to apologize. All they had to do was buy these heads back from me and resell them theirselves. Instead I have to put my reputation and even more of my money at risk because they won't stand behind their product.

So buyer beware, as mentioned above and PM's to several of you, my engine DID overheat when I had these heads installed. The supplier I purchased them from had them independently pressure tested and he swears they are 100% fine and that my overheating problem could not have been related to the heads. I really don't know what to believe, its not my product. All I can do is give you my word that I will fully refund you for the heads and any shipping costs as well as some money for labor if you also encounter overheating problems with these heads.

If you need references the following vendors can vouche that I am an honest and good paying customer. I have purchased $5,000 or more from each of the following vendors: Speed Inc., Billingsley Racing, and Weber Racing. I have purchased between $1,000 and $5,000 from each of the following vendors: Thunder Racing, LG Motorsports, BMR and Total Engine Airflow. I have also purchased from numerous suppliers who are not sponsors here. Finally, I have sold parts and purchased parts many times in this section before trader ratings even existed.

 

What cam were you running with these heads?
