if I were you I would have made ls1speed send me new heads and let them fight GTP about the ones that you had...that's not right just making you wait for a month or more because of their mistake......

well malibu i wish you worked for ls1 speed. Then you could have hooked me up. However i just got the run around from everone and was starting to think i was not going to get anything fixed. So when GTP finaly said to send them back I was just happy they were getting fixed.

Sorry to hear you had problems. No sponsor would have necessarily would have had the exact same head in stock to swap for you, otherwise I'm sure Speed Inc. would have tried... Keep us posted.

When my head was leaking it took three times getting it welded before I decided to take it to Jeff Naiser and have him cut the whole port out and reweld the whole thing back up and then port it back down to match the other runners. There was too much perosity and the runner still had a pinhole leak when pressure tested. Don't leak now Naiser didn't even pressure test it after it was done, amazing what kind of aluminum welding the guy can do

They say sure if you dont mind paying the extra cost. WTF... they are the ones that offerd it to me in the first place... (We should be finished with them Friday, my friend... will ship them
> saturday delivery, and you'll have them faster then if we just sent them
> out
> normally... do you just want them back?)
