Marcel and Dave are great guys and will talk at great lengths to discuss your needs.
Look at the SD site for suggested heads/price on new CNC ported KRE D-ports. Prices start at $2200.
It was cost-effective for me to go with their D-ports since I already had the headers.
Prep'd E-heads were the same price from Butler.

Same boat for me. I have read all vendors website prices and made a comparison spreadsheet.
I just want details on the chamber finishing cost, roller springs, and 290 or 310cfm for my needs - can't really tell if I'll pass the $2500 mark - plus shipping.
If so, used E-heads and some headers may work out as well for my performance goals.

I sent email to both listed addresses - thanks for the replies - it's been a long winter ;)

Marcel explained to me (I ordered my heads in January, got them in three weeks) that February-April is "silly season" over there--they get swamped with cylinder head orders because summer's/tax returns coming. Be patient with them and you won't regret it.

Default I agree

Having just been on a spending spree. The pontiac people who want to increase there business should invest in people or time to answer questions or provide more info on their sites. Examples S.D. lists cams starting at 80.00 dollars that is it,no specs available sizes nothing. In there defense they did answer the phone and provide a way to get the answer. Second tried Spotts several different times no answer. The people That I could talk too. Butler 200.00 thanks. DCI 20.00 thanks. Ken at PPR 140.00 thanks. Nunzi I understand he is retired does this for fun answered the phone but dosn't take credit cards? Huge leap of faith on my part M.O. 600.00 thanks. Not discounting anyone just my experience. Have built a street rod seems much better communication in that stuffs business people.
