how about some timeslips/dyno graphs from the guys that like to talk. 257 RWHP may not be much...but i have spent a total of about 400 bucks, not counting the barter work. i dont care who you are or what you drive or if you have 50hp or 5000hp, 70hp for 400 bucks is definately something to brag about.

but hey...keep spending all your money on 200dollar CAIs, 100dollar plug wires, 200dollar TBs, and oh yeah...dont forget to buy that 500dollar programmer...yeah, 1000dollars...15hp...keep bragging.
well put alabamaram, but you have to admit that people with little or no experience with working on engines see those little add ons as something they can do on their own. The aftermarket world is geared to that crowd primarly, i believe. you got a deal on your heads, no questions about it, but not everyone can find a deal such as yours and they resort to paying that big bill, which is more often than not the case. its an easy upgrade to replace heads, just a little time consuming. but its not that big of a deal. you just cut to the chase and got a power adder that made a difference because you got a good price.

+1 for our heads sucking. Thats the complete reason why i dont have P/P heads anymore. They cracked. SOO the next thing i do will be a good set of heads , air gap intake and a cam.
