I am still waiting on a core (kinda pissing me off).

If anyone has an extra head they could part with, please PM me. We may be able to work something out.



And yes, those are my only mods. Believe me, the head flows a lot better now. And it seems to have helped out on gas, i just got 331 miles on a tank of gas, and that was never touching the freeway, only in town stuff.

local shop may be cheaper most likely but just keep repeating this to yourself. "Dave has the fastest B16a in the world because of his quality work."

so what is the big deal about the core, will that mean you dont have to send your own head in to get ported and polished?

It only means you will have several weeks of downtime(couple weeks)


oh and to the guy with the turbo and porting the head question. Yes thats why catalyst ported his head so he will get the most out of his turbo kit!

Ok im a little confused about something, it costs 850 but didn't you say we were getting the group buy price at 650? so the core charge is 200 bucks, correct?

dave raised my prices after he did my head. He said it is too much work for $650.

Sorry guys. Although i can get you portwork done for $650. It is a more mild portwork, but better than stock by far.

The porting done to my head is $850 + core
There is a less mild version that is $650 + core

Either one can be NA or FI. Just specify when you order.

less mild, or more mild for $650? It would seem like the more mild the work, the cheaper it is?

I am still waiting on the core head i was promised.

I am offering this....

If you send me your head, i will have it ported and sent back to you asap.
If you are willing to have your car down for that long. But the portwork is available.
