I like Advanced Induction, I put about 8k miles a year on it each of the last two years and it propels a stock shortblock Caprice into the 11.9s in good weather. Wife likes driving it too so it is nothing wild. 3400 stall and 3.73s are just fine for long drives and such.

The 190cc heads I have are no longer available, they have a little cheaper option and a newer 200cc option which I understand is an evolution of the 190 I have.

The cam is not radical mid 220s intake, allows me to keep it below 6500.

Be careful comparing stuff, Advanced Induction does more machining(every gasket surface), uses a billet cam(as opposed to cast), and better springs than others, so a couple hundred dollars more means it is still a better value.

Another vote for advanced induction. I made 429rwhp with a stock 100k mile short block with a miss (loose rotor). Track times should be coming soon.

I have yet to get my heads back from Ai but, the service they have offered so far has been superior to some of the other performance vendors I have delt with. So far, from what I have read they make da powa!! Check out their website and see what you think.

They are in New Jersey and port alot of lt1 heads...you can get a package where they port your stock heads and a cam for a nice price..just search on google for advanced induction. As soon I as I get enough money I am going to get a nice set of heads done by them.

Eportworks. I am about to fire up my H/C package from them. Properly setup by a competent mechanic, they produce awesome numbers on the track and dyno.

They are in North Carolina, not new jersey. They are right by lowes motor speedway right in the heart of where all big name shops, are so they definatly have all the resources they can ask for.

LOL!

the cams are custom ground, and cutomers arent allowed to give them out...usually the cams are in the 230-240 duration range , with about high 5 and low 600 lift....

I really don't think that you can go wrong with either. Both have yielded great results. I suggest that you give each company a call and talk to a rep.

Like I said above mid 220s on the intake I will add less than .570 lift with 1.6s, valvetrain will last a long time. LSA is tighter than off the shelf stuff but not stupidly tight. Keeping the cam specs moderate results in lots of long lasting durable power, sure it might be able to make a little more with wilder lobes but on the street longevity is important.

Some companies like to use sledghammer lobes that will have you chasing valvetrain issues after just a few thousand miles, some people are happy with that, I would not be. I do not see the good in making power in a steet car when it comes at that high a maintenance cost.

Do you know how long AI usually takes to turn around a set of heads?
