Default Katech heads&cam package

I'm checking out their stage II heads&cam package. Please let know if you have them on your car or knowing someone else that has it. I would love to get a hold of the dynograph for this package.

Thanks

I've got the stage II package being installed as I type this. I hope to have some dyno numbers within the next couple of weeks if all goes well.

Why not just their heads? Looks like you have a good cam in there already.

I doubt that there are any one out there running Katech heads and MTI T1 cam combination. That's why I made this post a little broad for the benefit of everyone. :D

Tuan- I'm not familiar with Katech parts yet but why not go with a set of MTI heads? They perform very well and are local for support purposes.

I can't afford them at $2800 a set. :cry :cry :cry

I know they are putting out good & consistent numbers. And maybe their heads are better than others out there. But in my (broke-a.ss) book, I do not think they are $1000 better.

Thanks for the tip.

I am working out all the details with another forum member right now. I may end up buying his new Katech stage II heads for almost half the price of MTI heads.

A friend has heads from http://www.racenet.net and they are local to you. He used a CompCam's grind in his Z28. The car went 11.6 NA So they are making power. For more info on the car:

Was was his MPH? And what type of tires was he running on? Street tires, drag radials, or slicks? Many people have ran high 11.9x's on street tires with heads&cam setup. I would like to find out if his 3-tenth is from the motor or just better tires.

I think he was on ET Streets but not 100% sure. MPH was 119 check the e-mail in his profile or IM him. He is a very helpful guy in the local f-body club.
