Everyone will tell you to go to DH-racing, when they have no proof (or don't want to post it) in the form of dyno graphs. I find it so hard to believe that so many people jump on the bandwagon. Most will believe anything you tell them.

Rep Power: 0 Who ever had their head work from HD better post a pic because I guarantee you that they did not do much? You have to do more than just port work. I bet they just polish the intake side and not the exhaust side. The polish on the intake side only goes so far not all the way in. For the money that you spent sending it and paying for the port work you can have just don it your self. Just be care full not to do too much. Most people thing that making the intake and exhaust port bigger will improve their engine flow. Big mistake it will just make air flow slower and air will seat at the bottom of the port. Exception to full race setup cars with force induction engines. Porting is just making the ports smooth with lest turns.

Rep Power: 812 Most of us here can't port the head ourselves. So far the people who have the head are very happy with it. They even posted pics to show the work.
I'm a bit skeptical when products are sold before being fully tested and dyno results are published. However, I don't want to discourage the experimentation going on and I certainly do not consider those who took a chance with DH Racing to be band wagoners. In my mind they are gutsy pioneers leading the way in a neverending, and often fruitless, search for cheap and reliable horsepower.
Its not really cheap and reliable. I'd say 590 is pretty expensive but DH seems to be a reputable company. But here a deal I can Do Lets do a fundraiser for me to DYNO my car when i get my head (hopefully today) I have no turbo. I only have the Kamikazee head
So Anybody heres an even better way to do it so you know i wont ripp you ppl off....I post the dynos with the price and you guys each send me a buck till we hit what i paid . I'll post the dyno sheet and everything.
