I was just trying to distract you until you get the bad news :console:

Don't worry the heads are still in motion lol. I was making a list of stuff I need to do to swap them (in the far future) lifters are top on this list. The current lifters are as mysterious as the bottom end, but I have no idea what lifters I would want to go to, maybe Johnsons. Also, the heads come with a set of OEM rockers with a CHE trunion kit I'll probably put those up for sale I figure they are worth a minimum of $200 which gets the cost of the heads down to below $1k!

I did ls7 lifters on my camaro and the avalanche motor. BTR trunnion upgrade on the rocker arms for the avalanche. I think my camaro has stock rockers, I can't remember.

Thats a heck of a deal on those heads. Chop chop!

I did LS7s in my RCSB but I've been seeing mixed stuff about them lately, I might fork out the extra moolah for something moar betterer lol.

I'm trying to find as much crap as I can to sell so I can assure myself I NEED the heads

Well @pwtr02ss, I pulled the trigger with Wilkies. $714 with shipping back to me, not bad at all if you ask me. Not sure how long it will take, i'm in no rush to install them but I am excited to see them collect dust on my shelf.

Awesome! IIRC, its about two week lead time. I ordered my heads 12/22 and received them 1/8. Thats pretty fast considering the holidays.

Damn man. That sounds pretty good! This is for just the porting, right? I really want to figure out heads, valve springs, etc.. so I can start getting parts. I want to get decent heads, for a non-turbo application, cam and intake (leaning towards the Fast RSX)

That's porting, valve job everything but assembly and disassembly. I'd seriously reconsider the fast intake save the money and get a TBSS or NNBS intake and throttle body. Put the extra funds to heads IMO.
