I have a set of TPiS Ported Heads. I bought them on a motor that I used in the race car. I had a VERY reputable NHRA engine builder rebuild the heads and give them a good valve job and then ran them in my car with the matched TPiS ZZ9 cam for a season. Roughly 5 race weekends....no street time.

Never dyno'd it, but it was probably in the neighborhood of 350 RWHP with this....new upgrades.....same but 'o meter today is 400 RWHP so that is my best guess. All stock bottom end and top end.

The following is from TPiS's web site:

These heads are factory castings that are completely inspected before any work is started. They are then given to our porting wizard. We install a 2.00" intake and a 1.56" exhaust valve. We use only Manley Premium Stainless Steel Valves. Each head is ported for max performance and given a 3 angle valve job. Then they are cc'd, milled, flow-benched and assembled with new guideplates, springs, and lightweight retainers. These are a great value in a stock casting.
LT1 Flow numbers in .100 increments for the stock castings are as follows: 58, 115, 177, 214, 214, 214. Our ported LT1 heads with a 2.00/1.56 valve flows the following 70, 145, 203, 241, 265, 277. As you can see we get some great numbers out of these heads, and at $1250/exchange it's a tough head to beat.

They charge $1250 for the service....plus a core. Say $200 for a good core off of eBay...so $1450 new.

I would like to get $900 obo out of these heads.....

Ditto! You know that you need a new set (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Things I need from Randy(if I had $$$)

Heads! Does the cam come with these?
17x9.5 wheels if they clear the 996 setup
Brake cooling ducts (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

EDIT: The LG ducts were over $400, way up from what he(louis) posted.

Your in luck:

1. I have a choice of cams CC 227/233 or TPiS ZZ9 I can let go for $50
2. Wheels clear the 996 set up with the spacers provided in the kit
3. Trust me $400 for those custom ducts IS CHEAP...when my fabricator buddy was helping me build mine..he said he STARTED at $800 for something like that, and he hadn't done full time race car work in a few years by then.
