    Well I'm getting my heads and intake done with him for a good price.
    So I'll be the guineapig and we'll see when it's together.

    It's unfortunate that guy took the focus away from the head porters ability/product and put it on propaganda/rediculous claims. But if I was building something worth a damn I'd stick with people who know factory heads. Lloyd and AI have perfected the art. 10's on stock castings and a HR cam, that's getting it done. LPE, GTP, and a few other can do very well with them too.

    A good build starts with proper planning. I just don't consider snake oil heads during that planning stage, I consider folks/products who have a decade of experience and results to draw from. 412rwhp is not stellar results with a M6 car and miracle heads. But if you've got the money to gamble, go for it, competition is a good thing, but I don't see them being the miracle they've been touted as.

    What's your good price? I'm curious.

    $1000 for heads and intake but, I buy springs ,retainers and valves.

    I think with 20 years of porting the guy might know what he's doing buy now.
    I read about the guy and it said he worked at three different shops over a 20 year period. That's sticking at each place for awhile and if your not good at your job they don't keep you around for that long.

    He does spec cams but, I'm getting the cam somewhere else.

    1000 for just the porting? thats a bit steep... your going to have a couple hundred into valves alone, and a couple hundred into springs and a couple hundred into seats, valve guides ect... and a couple hundred into a cam...

    For that price id would definitely go with a more reputable porter. Like said above by the time you buy all the extras to add to the heads you have to ask if anyone heard of you could spend way less on proven power. I went with Lloyd and was very pleased with his prices and know how. And he's an all around good guy with vast amounts of ltx knowledge.

    Not trying to poop on your parade, but for the same money I like Lloyd. I've got pretty good results from LE heads that are too small for my motor and that he thinks don't pour the 205cc that they do. I seriously thought you got both for $600 or something.

    Youtube guy: 1000+250[spring kit]+250 [valves] = $1500
    Lloyd LE2's with ported intake = $1500

    ...and Lloyd is damn good at spec'ing cams. Ask LS1speed Larry, Badhawk, Bolo...

    I'm not saying the guy is a moron, but why gamble or leave some on the table for no gain, monetary or otherwise?

    I was really hoping the guy that got the heads on the other site would have had posted up track times.
