lt4s are not worth the money. get intouch with loyd get your heads and cam from him i think its 1300 or 1400 buck for ported heads (you send your heads) new spring locks and titanium retainers and a custom ground cam. you cant find heads alone for that price any where. and on his heads and cam (he has 3 different cams) people have hit upper 420s. ON STOCK PORTED HEADS.

SEEMS LIKE A NO BRAINER TO ME.

If your talking about Loyds heads. He is a site member and you can PM him, his user name is NIGHTTRAIN66. If you just want him to port your heads and don't want the cam it's like $700-800. You can't beat that anywhere. He also has some cams for his heads ground by Joe Overton. Joe is the s**t! A little pricey, but no body better in my mind.

How about the trick flow heads? Fully assembled $1295 seems like a good deal to me.

Trick flow has 195 intake runners and stock has 175. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Go with Lloyds heads AND CAM. It's a matched setup and will put down way better numbers than if you just throw parts together. I'm running Lloyds best heads, but a cam thats smaller than all 3 that he offers(but it was matched to the heads just like his cams are) and I ran 11.84 on stock bottem end at a crappy track.

that's what i hear. and they flow like a MOTHA. perfect for anything with a power adder or a stroker setup.

You also may want to contact Phil at Advanced Induction. He is a sponsor on this forum and very knowledgeable.
