I'm sure he has his reasons, lets try not to bash any shops on the boards anymore. Negative issues dont help anyone.

What's your budget? You might be better off just buying a set of TSP's CNC-ported LS6 heads and selling your 241s. You could always try porting them yourself, too.

I figured it would cost arround 450 for all that work + i still have to buy my own springs etc.. so im thinking of just going to buy a set of ls6 heads from tsp it comes out to 1200 for everything brand new. Or spend close to 700 for some 241 with all the pp and mill, spring work. Just trying to weigh my options at this point.
