Soooo why haven't we seen any testing results from head work or their cams? Seems like a gamble?

Well if twy can get some lfx heads and a can and show us the results I'm all for it. How mch would it cost to send them some oem heads and cams? Probably a grand or so? Gary is saying this could give us 100 go gain that seems far fetched

WHAT I SAID WAS THEY SAID THE HEAD WOULD GIVE 40 HP, AN THE CAMS CLOSE TO THE SAME HP AS THE HEADS. DYNO WILL LET US KNOW HOW TRUE THE NUMBER ARE SOON ENOUGH I WOULD SAY

ADDING THE PORTED MANIFOLD THAT GIVE 20 HP..HITTING A 90-💯 100HP INCREASE SOUND POSSIBILE ... P.S. THE NAME GARVY BRO

Idk man I'm a skeptic I recall LmR saying when they were doing the testing they were only getting about a 30 hp gain which isn't bad but idk I'd have to see it to believe it. Bit hopefully your right. And my bad I got auto corrected

if its gonna happen, it will happen. too much bench racing with numbers....this guy said 30, this guy heard 40, someones grandma told em 40+40 and then another 20 from X part = 100hp....

anyone into performance knows, you can NOT just add numbers from individual gains and its gonna magically equal the total number. if it were that easy, intakes headers and exhaust would be netting 40-50 rwhp on v6's. gotta be realistic. all these numbers being thrown, and no product, new opening shop, and not much if any REAL testing???

keep the interest, but don't get ridiculous with the hype. if their a standup place, they'll be around. if they're a fly by night group, time will prove it.
