H3LlIoN · 06-07-2010, 09:05 PM

rob323 · 06-07-2010, 09:08 PM

Ok, in the mean time, get a stock head and the new head flow tested and have the cams measured

Dispel all myths!

H3LlIoN · 06-07-2010, 09:16 PM

Haha have a spare head to send me?

H3LlIoN · 06-07-2010, 09:17 PM

In other words....I need head. :-D

rob323 · 06-07-2010, 09:23 PM

I got 2.
You flow yours and I'll flow mine.

H3LlIoN · 06-07-2010, 09:32 PM

Alright....let me make some phone calls tomorrow and see what it would run me.

cdydjded · 06-07-2010, 10:06 PM

Where are you located? Ill find you a place to flow the head....

H3LlIoN · 06-07-2010, 10:35 PM

Hampton Roads, VA. I'm pretty sure Abacus Performance does it, just have to call and check. What's normal cost for that anyway?

H3LlIoN · 06-09-2010, 10:18 PM

cdy...any word on flow shop/rough cost?

As to cams...two weeks before I can get her in to the shop. Sry for the bad news gents.

H3LlIoN · 06-10-2010, 02:38 PM

bleh...$320 to $400 to flow head. I'm not paying for that. I'll just dyno it and be happy, or not.

We contacted them during our search for head/cam work, I was not impressed. They had no specs, or even basic information - what should be basic if someone was actually doing this work - they had to call me back with the answers. Confidence, zero. They appear to be a middle man for an unknown machine shop.

Yeah I'm waiting to see numbers to make final judgment, but I'm overall less than pleased at the experience so far. Any time I ask any questions, I get the run around about corporate espionage and such...all the while I'm thinking "dude. you've got $1620 of my money, you better come up with something!" Any way, he seems pretty sure of his product, so I'll wait and see what the numbers come back with.

As of right now, tech guys are telling me there may be some clearance issues putting my cams in the factory head, we'll wait and see what happens though, I'll get some putty and check it out.

Any body have a link for the ARP head stud kit?

You have to respect someone trying to protect their investment in the R&D process, and they are certainly within their right to do so. However, I have not talked to one reputably engine builder that would not share all of the data I asked for - this goes for both our current and past projects. Most of these guys are secure enough knowing people come to them because of reputation, and based on that alone they will share - telling someone flow numbers does not tell how you achieved them.

I think the issue here is caused by the dealer. They likely fear that if anyone knew what machine shop made the parts they would be cut out of the loop.

Hopefully the difficult journey pays off for you.

ARP does not have head bolts or head studs for the 1NZ. Use brand new factory bolts & you will not have any issues.....
