Default Should I get these?

LPP's stainless headers. Brand new, just taken out of the box for inspection. No Y-pipe. $400 shipped.



Ported LT1 heads 643 castings. Done by a good local porter. No flow numbers on these, the previous set he did for me that i destroyed flowed 265/179 and made 371rwhp with a cc305 through an m6. Stock valves, comp dual valve springs for .600 lift. Taken off a motor that was assembled but never fired.
$800 shipped


I will ask for more pics of the heads.
I don't know what are good flow numbers for stock heads.

NO! I want them! lol nah I wish I had the money right now for those. I'd jump on the headers, not sure about the heads tho..the head in the last pic looks to have blemishes of some sorts plus theres no flow sheets. personally I'd only buy ported heads w/o flow sheets if they came from a reputable porter who could confirm that they did indeed port them

Yeah, I am going to ask him to give me the porters info so I can contact him. I think that stuff in the pic is just gasket material.

No reason for gasket material to adhere to the heads if they've never been heat cycled. Probably more like not cleaned thoroughly.
