Am I supposed to feel bad for someone in this thread?
I sure see a lot of whining and crying!
Can I participate with my sob stories to? I've got a pretty good one!

Blitz, I warned you about my dealings with the guy I believe you are working with. Could I be wrong, sure, we will find out.

How much are you getting these things for and where is the flow data?

Want a day off-yeah right-thank god for smart phones-there's no day off.

My guys get paid top dollar, they get bonuses and raises every year-even when I'm not making anymore money. But that's the price to pay if you want to keep a good crew. The last time I got a raise was in 2007. With todays' economy-it's not easy-especially when you have to compete with everyone and anyone who will undercut your price to steal your business.

I've got a 22 stitch scar on my right wrist from unloading 120lbs sheets of steel all day in 100 degree heat. On my left arm I got a 8 stitch scar from another sheet was sitting off a table just a bit.

My shoulder is messed up from forming 10 foot long enclosures, since nobody else wanted do it guess who had no choice.

I get to stay late when the truck doesn't arrive on time to load everything, and when a shipment arrives on the weekend and needs to be unloaded-who has to do it?

Then there's the time when you have a power failure and Eaton needs panel cut formed and punched in the middle of the night-they call me.

Sami your absolutely clueless buddy.

You Sami-you punch in and you punch out-that's it.

Honestly-I just lost some respect for you.
i couldn't have said it any better myself. you also forgot to mention you are usually the first one there and the last to leave. i remember digging ditches and stripping asbestos when is was 12 on my summer vacations. all my other buddies were out swimming, hitting the arcades, and raising hell.

Sheeeeet, you should should come to work here buddy, it's lap dances and lollipops all day!!! In at ten, morning break till noon, bar by 1, you need to just set your priorities straight.




Brian, you say you are on a budget but your looking into things you do not need, and your going cheap where you shouldn't, you make no sense to me...

Everyone is on a budget Doug, some are just higher than others. I'm just trying to build a motor and keep my wife happy. If she told me she was going to the mall to spend 5k, I would have a problem with that, unless it was a short block!

I will explain a little further about the Procomp heads in a few days when I get some things worked out!

Just slap some 243's or 317's on it. Look how fast people go with stock ls1 and ls6 heads and ask yourself if they are required to go fast.

So far the only bad review on these is from Arun! He believes in the LSAs and I am very curious to see how these will do against them! I plan to have a shop do a flow test on them since Arun is testing the LSAs! I know this will not be an exact comparison as the heads are going on different motors, but hopefully we can all get a better understanding of these Procomp heads and I will post up my thoughts and finding weather good or bad!

Arun, have you worked with these heads first hand or have you heard that they are not very good heads? I just want to get all facts about these heads!

Also I forgot that Breecher 7 ( Tony) is putting the CNCd LSAs on his 390 build, we will have the same short block and I'm pretty sure we are both going to be using Aruns Cam that he recommends for the LSAs!

This will be a very good comparison on the different heads and how the do!

By the time you finish building your motor, have it tuned and at the track,,,,, I will be on to another build.

And it's not going to be a fair comparison at all really-I'm going with a 365 cube motor and your going with a 390.

You just worry about your build, hope it's fast enough to beat those pesky GTO with NOS!

I guess the testing of the LSAs will be done by then. Sorry I can't get my motor done that fast. My kids need new shoes and socks

Don't know what your shooting for.I can see a novi with stock unported heads,ls6 intake and right cam combo making 850 with no problom.
You really have to understand you are limited to the size of your blower.No matter if it's a 347 or 437 and novi 2k will only produce so much,With a good set of ported heads at a cost of 2500$ you pick up 50rwhp.IMO I would just keep the money in my pocket.850 on stock heads or 900 with high $ heads....Mine is stock and never been touch.
