    Awesome!

    I have also been eyeing up those RHS heads. I can't wait to hear how they run for you! (y)

    It's always great to have new goodies arrive, I usually spend at least an hour fondling them :) Looking forward to hearing about your adventures when you get that bad boy to the strip. I am sure you will have some bugs to work out but after that it will be hard to get the smile off of your face(y)

    The RHS heads seem to be the way to go...Good choice.
    My Machienest just did three 408 strokers back to back. He said the RHS heads make more power than the AFR heads out of the box.. There about 200 bucks cheaper too.
