So, Powerheads.com has seemed to fall off the map. Is anyone running there heads? They are ABSOLUTELY the best deal for porting I have seen. $1350 gets you assembled heads w/ Ferrera stainless valves, bronze guides, 7000 rpm springs. That is much cheaper than the $1900 elsewhere. Flow is 230/205 @ .550 lift.

May be a good alternative w/ VT or crower cams installed.

where did you see that price? post a link please...i thought the difference between their stage 1 and 2 kits is like 1200 bucks..and thats just for p&p and valves etc...i bet they want more for a set of P&P fully assembled heads then 1350.

Here is the link: http://www.powerheads.com/camsheads.html

"Build up for your heads = competition porting, competition valve job,
Ferrea SS valves, 7000 rpm spring, professionally assembled"

but I got the flow info. from an emailI received an email:

"230cfm@.550'' lift intake 205cfm@.550'' lift exhaust. CNC & hand
porting combined. add the retail cost for crower cams to $1350.00
( heads built w/o cams ) they have bronze guides installed. yes we have
seen many dyno sheets from install shops, 50+ rwhp gains NA and 100
+rwhp gains with FI. call me if you are interested.....951-678-7035....
Ralph@Powerheads"

The only problem is that I received a response from a AOL account and not @powerheads.com.

Bump.



I thought this might stir some minds a little more as heads seem to be a hot item. Anyone else? Ooh, and I'm still waiting for VT or someone else to tell me to quite being such a tight ass and spend the extra 300 bucks.

those prices are just for the porting of YOUR heads! Your comparing that price to VT's 1900 which INCLUDES NEW PI HEADS.

Do you have a link for Renegade racing?

"You get what you pay for" doesn't mean you have to purchase from the highest priced company to receive top quality.

I don't think Renegade has a website.. I remember someone posting a phone number before if you search for their name.

No website.
He is a word of mouth guy.

He is by far NOT the highest guy around.But does great quality work and stands behind it.
