with all the problems with dh, do you really want to put it on gearbox?

This man has a point.....They could always buy the cores they need from a junk yard until they have enough cores lying around so that they don't need to wait on materials to make the heads you poor souls are waiting on.

Well, I put out $1000 for the head and all the necessary parts for install. DH won't even refund my pulley, so I'm stuck with everything. Might as well have it installed. A few members who know their stuff told me it looks okay, and I also think they did a decent job. I'm expecting around 10whp from it, and maybe more with tuning. I'll be posting results once it's on.

I think DH develops parts exclusively for racing applications. That's why Josh always brags about his built crx. The problem with the pulley was all of us got a prototype. The head already belongs on the car, and the port work is just changing it for better air flow. So I think it will be safe as long as they cleaned it well.

This is to cover myself should anything happen. When I send my old head back to DH, I should be getting the $100 core refund as already promised. I also expect them to pay for shipping costs. Here is a PM that Josh sent me when we were finalizing payment details.

If I don't receive $100+shipping costs on the core, DH will be in serious trouble.

Hey bro I understand. But thanks for understanding that a few of us are waiting on those heads to get back. I guess DH doesn't want to buy more D17 heads. In light of all these road bumps I doubt they will have many more D17 customers. The core exchange program only works if you send in your stock head or people who do a swap send in the core. In my case this is my daily driver. I do 90% of the work myself.

Also as a 7thgen member I ask all people who like or hate DH and have core parts, please send them back.

Once we all have our work done and post results, we will know. The good, the bad and the ugly.

I will post results. There will be no hiding the nubers. I have already posted the pre Dh dyno. Just waiting on the head and custom I/M.

not tryin to **** anyone off or anythin but 1. the stock ex has 127 not 130, and thats at the crank not at the wheels, 2. i havn't seen anywhere you will get 15hp from any of these items, most say gains UP TO 15hp can be seen but they do not say you will get 15, up to means anywhere from 1-15, 3. the reason you had 96 or however much hp was cause dyno shows your wheel hp not crank

i wouldnt send a core back to DH for no reason what so EVAR

 
Rep Power: 811

Why not? If the new head works, I have no use for the old one.

 
Rep Power: 584

DH screwd so many here why help them out

 
Rep Power: 811

Well it's more so the other members who already ordered a head don't have to wait forever.

 
Rep Power: 584

i guess in that case...

 
Rep Power: 811

Believe me, I'm very angry with DH for a number of reasons. I'm putting out $1500 total for the head, parts, and install. If I don't see at least 10-15whp, I'm gonna be pissed. And even then it's not worth what I paid. Plus the $185 I'm out for the pulley. Stupid Josh and his lies. I can't believe he hasn't been banned yet.

 
Rep Power: 584

for 1500 bucks the head i could have gotten you, WOW

 
Rep Power: 811

That's why I feel bad about it. I could have gotten something much better like you say. Well it's too late, so I'll see what happens. I'm hoping Monday for the install.

^^^ ditto!

On a sidenote, you do know that unless DH uses a $100,000+ CNC milling machine for doing the head work, you can do it yourself if you're patient enough. Other than that, you can get the port sizes of the intake and header you're using and take the head to a local shop. Tell them you want the intake ports size X and the exhaust ports size Y to match your bolt-ons.

DH seems to be quite a mess overall; I still don't get why he won't refund a friggin' crank pulley, thats just bad buisness.

Can't wait till more people get theirs installed and post some results... That will either make or break DH for me and probably a few others.

CDMX estimates the pulley gave him 1-2 whp gain.....quite a bit of deviation from the dyno prove 20 whp that Josh promises with each application.

 
Rep Power: 0

Josh said it would give anywhere from 10whp-15whp for the dual groove and 20whp for the single...But this isn't the right thread to be talking about the pulley

Im not sure if this has been discussed, but how much does it cost to have a pnp job for the 7th gen vic ???

 
Rep Power: 0

it depends...just don't get dh racing to do it.

 
Rep Power: 811

Yeah. I paid $740 for the DH head. But then you have to factor in new head bolts, gaskets, and other supplies, plus install. Everything combined brought my total to $1500. We'll see if it gets installed tomorrow or post-poned again.

 
Rep Power: 0

$1500!! thats alot just for a pnp. well i hope it does go well for you gearbox

More of what DHRacing is known for. Bragging about BS that a customer can care less about.


A) "Don't Believe In Dh-Racing??? Well Take A Look At This Link Below. Dave Hickman Makes A 9 Second Pass (1:18 Into The Video, Yellow Hatch). All The Motors Dave Raced With He Built Himself."

Trying to fool the consumer into thinking that their engine part will have as much time and effort put into as Dave Hickman puts his time into his own engines. And what is up with capitalizing every word?

B) "Dh-Racing Has 15 Years In World Record Dyno's, Mind Blowing Race Cars, and The Most Powerful Motors On The Planet!!!"

Once again notice the same tactic used. Bragging about BS and trying to mislead the customer by showing accomplishments that dont mean jack when a customer's engine is being worked on. Once again notice the capitalization of each word. What is up with that?

And like I said before:

Well now that my ****ing communication has been lost on this site with them....why the **** was he banned? They should give him back his 500 bucks that he paid for the membership, hate if you want, but I didn't get screwed.

 
Rep Power: 584

since when did our cars have rockers?

 
Rep Power: 811

Why did he get banned? Are you joking? I sure hope so.

Looks like the head isn't getting installed again. I called the mechanic 10 times this morning and nobody picked up. I'm getting pissed because my supposed appointment was a week ago.
