ProComp/Speedmaster aluminum heads
So for a little more you can buy an American made head, with quality parts, better flow numbers, same cc runner, and a company that gives back to racers at the track. Hmmmmm.
Here's the kicker, when I called and talked to somebody at Speedmaster a couple weeks ago the guy said 255 each for unported plus shipping and $1, 200 plus shipping for a set of CNC fully loaded heads. Again I'm hoping to scrape together a budget soon...:BangHead::thumbsup:
So here are my thoughts. If I could get a set of CNC'ed heads empty like under $1, 000 way under $1, 000 on a Black Friday sale I can possibly load them up with my Springs and valve and retainers? And don't let one of these crazy offers happened where again they offer CNC heads and the whole load of other expensive parts for a real cheap price. as a matter of fact two weeks ago when I looked at their site everything they offered came with a free air gap intake manifold as well...
absolutely every single part on this car has been a compromise of how far I want to take it and how far my budget will let it go. Absolutely every part I have on my car I could have spent more on and got a little bit better quality. I could have got a forged crank instead of a cast. For just a little bit more. I could have got h-beam rods instead of I-beam rods for just a little bit more... And you know come on you preach budget yourself for what you can afford...
With all that said that's what I was hoping to find out here if the guy could get some decent horsepower and bide his time and get them at the right price just maybe... I could finally have aluminum heads....
If we can keep everybody from going crazy and bananas at each other for a little bit and keep on the subject maybe I could possibly take this thread all the way to a timeslip...
My first general question about these heads have been clearly answered. They're not a huge threat to my engine or me. With relatively a small amount of expected inspection and possible minor correction there is really no reason to call these that dramatically of less quality especially considering and this is the big consideration the application?
