Head work

Pulling my heads because I blew my HG.. I have a GT700 wondering if fellow 6speeders recommend I do some work on my heads and if so what do you recommend?? valves? larger? polishing? titanium?

I'm not sure who Stephen would recommend, but Greg Goode is one of the best head porters around.. Does Cyl heads for some of the fastest Outlaw 10.5, True 10.5, LS1, etc. in the country.

Unless Stephen and them have someone they use I'd look at someone like him or others that are of his caliber.

Yes he is. And you will have to get the car retuned because it will make more power and throw the Air/Fuel off.

How Much Does Evoms Charge To Reprogram Thier Kits.. I Know Protomove Only Charges Around 350 To Reprogram Once You Purchased There Programing?? Also I Have Heard That Evoms Now Is Doing Greedy Boost Control As An Option.. I Would Love To Hear If This Is True

While your in there change the rods! most of the labor is paid for. This is good inssurance since your already searching for more power.IMHO...tom

To be honest with you! I think only Kevin @ ultimate Mototwerks offers a complete kit with heads, stage 3B. the kit includes heads & rods, Anything else is custom! If I'm not mistaken...tom

Once you are opening the engine, you should definitely install stronger rods, head studs and a head gasket, and possibly also stronger valve springs.

You should also port and polish your heads. EVOMS has a relationship with a shop that, form what I hear, does very good work. As others have observed, a new program will likely be necessary to accomodate the increased airflow. I suspect that EVOMS already has such a program available for GT700s with ported heads, but if they do not, they can create one for you.

Good luck,

Craig

I don't know about "kits" that include everything you want, but EVOMS stocks and sells Carrillo rods, ARP head studs, a stronger head gasket, stronger valve springs, and various other internal engine components designed specifically for 996TTs. Its one stop shopping.
