One awesome valve job

Like most forms of racing, we are pricing ourselves out of business.

[Bill Grubbs]

Most engine builders I know will price that high because they don’t really want to do just the heads. They want to sell the whole package. Years ago we spent a crap load on money with an engine builder located in Houston, and did not qualify at a race🙄.

The moral of the story is to #1 choose your engine builder wisely, #2 treat it as a marriage (ie…don’t shop around after getting the product, stay with the builder till death do you part), #3 the chain is only as good as the weakest link, #4 money spent does not always equal et on the track.

For free I’ll also add…don’t eat in a hotel or sleep in a restaurant!

Just curious Bill, where does one draw the LINE ??

There is only so much you can do to a stocker head. Are some shops just charging twice as much for the same work or are you getting your money's worth for spending double?

Wow!

I am sure it depends on the head but how much does a pair of Super Stock heads run these days?
