custom head and cam swap

[96gt226410]

Stage II heads from Steen are $1,600. And they can be found cheaper.

Where is 1300 coming from. And the only Johnny Lightning I ever heard of makes little toy car's. Of course you can find cheaper, always. Like I said, do you want a bad ass modular or a cheap ass modular? To each his own of course, but there's a reason why Fox Lake, MPH, and Renegade charge alot more than these other guy's.

well they took the head specs off but i got them in an old add.

JLP High Flow Race Heads
fully 5 axis CNC ported
HUGE 1.84" stainless intake &
1.452" stainless Exhaust Valves
w/ Titanium Retainers
600" lift heavy duty springs
Flow Rate @ .600 213 Exhaust
flow rate @ .600 238 Intake
5 angle valve job

"at the time" 1399.99 with exchange

i think they are 1499.99 now.

Seems like a pretty good head don't you think? Really nice exaust flow numbers.

 

[Jrgunn5150]

The exhaust flow is absurd... And they are only quoting the number's @.600. I would suspect they probably flowed them on a 4" bore too.

But simply going off the number's they look like nice head's. For myself, I will spend the dough and go with what I know.

If you want to build a badass modular, one that can eclipse 500 rwhp reliable, you will eclipse 10k in your engine buiild, period. Then you'll need a trans. If you want to go fast cheap and easy, you bought the wrong car,sell it and go get a LT! F-body.

foxlake is what I would use, but tim going with a custom portrd n/a with a matching custom cam.


Patriot uses bad blanks to start with that ford sold to them because they didnt pass inspection at ford.

 

[cody0170]

bad blanks thats no bueno

 

[voidfinger]

way not cool.

There's always a reason why everyone else is charging roughly the same amount then one dude comes along nd charges way less, lol.
