$2000 on gude head it sucks
 

Had my head installed Friday just to let you know don't buy It because it sucks an as*hole. lost power, so far resetting ecu now,
Had to use my stock rocker arms because the ones they sent me did not engage vtec, metal shavings where found in the vtec screen sending unit. overall rating not good sucks very %##^%$ bad.. but I did get a little more top end, but I am so pissed Please do not buy it. Its a BIG WASTE OF MONEY!!!!!! Don't buy, don't buy, do not fu*king buy it.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG]:shake:
I had to go and drink a beer cause I was so pissed,
Who the Fu** are they kidding 40hp increase......My AS*


Tired of typing now too mad

wow, that really sucks...i was really hoping that it would work.

Thanks for the warning.

dude that sucks a big one, have a beer and forget about it

for the price they charge you can get your factory head port and polished, 5 angle cut and a custom ground cam, and for a few extra hundred dollars valves and springs. the problem with gude is they use a stock cam but regrind it for a higher lift, that's the cheap way out. it should be made from a new core.

I feel you. That sucks. I know you don't want to think about it now, but you have a real issue here. You paid a substantial amount, and if the quality is shoddy and the claims about performance are true, they better return your money. I would definitely talk to someone about this (i.e.lawyer!).

holy crap that sux. once again, i'm losing faith in the performance potential of our cars [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG]

i wish i could find the post on superhonda.com about a guy putting on the gude package on a 6th gen and losing power. Lots of people say that Gude is not reliable and their products actually do more harm than good. Gain a little top end but lose torque - shyt it sounds like a cat-back system to me - lol

sorry to hear about it what are u going to do?

dammmmnn lol

ahhhhhhh son of a biach!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my gude head is coming in a few days!!!! dam! i was soooo excited. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG] now i lost 2000 bux. well ill pop it in and you guys can get a second opinion. if it sux, maybe i can find a sucker who will buy it.

I know that VeNoMsCiViC is getting one also. If it sux there too, the 3 of you should get together and file a CLASS ACTION!

I don't mean to sound sue happy... It just pisses me off when you feel like you get screwed by a company and can't do anything about it. One of the beauties of this website is that it gives power to a large group of people who share a common thread. In a lot of ways I think 7thgen is like a union or fraternal order. There is and should be strength in numbers.

Find out who else has had bad dealings with Gude and go from there...

[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG] man! im sooooo pissed about gude!! i feel like driving downthere and clocking every worker in the face!!!!!!!

This f-ing sux , i was gonna get mine this summer . I guess ill wait to see what other people say about their gude head before im make a definate

i guess the concept they had was good.. but they just sucked at doing it.. i mean spider got his "gude" style upgrades and hes just loving.. he has nothnig negative to say..

guess its just GUDE that sucss

Email, or call them, and let them know that they suck, and try and make it right, or get some money back

i was goin 2 buy the gude 2 [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG]

I was also gonna get the gude - looks like I'll have to do something like spider now.

Damn...2 grand. That's f ucked up.

So jhonda u still gonna get a dyno on it

sorrie to hear that man
are u gonna dyno it still?

hahahaha, i remember when everyone flamed me and some others who laughed at the 40hp idea, whos laughing now![IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

Taking satisfaction in other's misfortune huh. :shake:

You're an *******!

Really, we are all in this together to make our cars better.

I agree

second that!

i didnt need to hear this $hit. Not only am I disappointed in the performance of my car right now, i thought it would bring up to near 150- 160 but i was guessin wrong. Ill probably sell the car or find something else to do. Oh yeah and if I dont see gains of 45hp to the wheels, I will sue gude for false advertisement because I even asked them before I purchased the Head package that they guarantee gains of 45hp to the wheels and this was coming from mike gude too. Ill be really pissed if he lied to me, and im getting the car dynoed afterwards too to have proof.

Yeah you guys should definitely get a dyno done to see where (if any) gains are to be confirmed with the Gude modifications. It would answer a lot of questions in addition to giving you concrete proof that Gude has not delivered and/or is giving false advertising. I mean, if it gives extra hp at the extreme top end and totally destroys the bottom end then Gude should have warned you guys beforehand.

if it gave big gains on the top end we could use the v-afc to make up for the low-end loss - if only the v-afc worked to control VTEC. maybe apex-i is gonn make one that will allow us to control our VTEC engagement.

I third that! I notice black2k1vtec being an asswipe sometimes as well. Oh well...

hey, sell it on ebay
im sure you can a lot of money for it
since its "suppose to gain 40hp"[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

Using the V-AFC to change the VTEC engagement point mostly likely won't fix the problem. If the new Gude head is only producing power up top, that means the head has been reworked such that airflow is all messed up at low RPM's. Engaging VTEC at an earlier RPM won't help matters if the airflow isn't there to operate correctly; in fact, it will make performance suffer even further.
