Need advice, LL, FADE, all the big boys

[silversvt02]

I am getting my heads, but I cannot decide. I was told by someone that the heads LFP sells are junk (another vender, but a friend of a friend). I think he might be trying to sell me his heads, but I wanted you guys' option.

Does anyone had any complaints about them? I believe they are patroit heads.

any feedback would be great.

Ive never heard anything like that. Sounds like someone was trying to sell you something.

Many use Patriot heads with good results. Fox Lake or VT-same thing are supposedly the best. You also have TEA or Total Engine Airflow that are a good head and good price. JDM are just overpriced. JLP heads are priced comperable with Fox Lake.

LL has LFP stage II heads and stage 2.5 cams. I have a set of used Fox Lake heads and JLP stage III cams. For the money you can't beat the Patriot heads.

Look on NLOC under the gen 2 section for a thread called You've been THUNDERSTRUCK!! There is a set of heads in there that are hogged out like no others. You could contact the vendor to see where he got them.

Of course LFP and Patriot are SV's here so you can't go wrong with either IMHO. (Same stuff anyhow)

Your friend of a friend is FULL OF SHIT! :burn:

LFP and Patriot haeds are both high quality.

that is what I thought, his heads are from someone I have never heard of, and they cost 1850$$

Patriot stg 2 heads here with JLP stg 2 cams

All of the published flow #'s for stage III heads are basically the same as are the parts used in them. Just like anything else you can pay more for the same stuff because of the name associated with it.

I was think about the stage 2.5 heads/cams from LFP

It's up to you man, I'd do the III's though, that's just me.

I feel like thay flow so much that it will move my power band up where I will need a 3000 stall converter to even move.....

On a s/c engine heads/cams don't really do that. They will increase not only peak hp but all along the curve as well. Only turbo guys will need a converter that high, to allow them to build boost off the line. Switching converters merely allows us to apply more power to the ground before the t/c locks up and blows the tires off.

well that is not what I meant. As you increase air flow via cams, your powerband will move up or down some, not the peak power, but where your curve start will move up. I just want to make sure I still have good down low power..

 

[Fade 2 Black]

Your power peak will move higher but the bottom end won't suffer. Here are some threads with good examples of what heads/cams can do:

thanks fade. maybe I will go with the stage III, I need to do more thinking about it

 

[Fade 2 Black]

I hear you, it took me a long time to decide on cams as well.

 

[silversvt02]
