Try the vette doctors. I know they are a dealer for ET. But the wait for heads is killing me.

Their all pretty much the same price. I'm pretty sure no-ones gonne be giving discounts on a head they cant even get..
"IF" you can get a set, you should be willing to step up and pay the price..

I was thinking of getting the ETP heads also... but LG's has had 2 sets on order since September and still has not gotton them. I have also been hearing about fitment issues with them ? Something about a bracket having to be moved ? And plug wires not long enough ? I have no odea if this is true or not though.... I just did not want to be the guinee pig for the first install. I want tested relability so I went with tried and true AFR 205's (59cc for >11.1:1 compression). Getting installed this week with a cam.

Don't email them, might want to try calling. The wait for an email response is longer than the wait for the heads themselves.
