well i pulled the head off today and i was inspecting it and i thought that as long as its off i should just get a head job.

so i was wondering if anyone knew of a shop that did good head jobs in orange county, CA and if so can you please let me know where i can find info?

thanks in advance

Alaniz and Portflow are some avenues to look into. However, Alaniz can take quite a while. PM sideways as he may have a built head available.

LostMotion

There's only 2 or 3 shops in the U.S. that know what they are doing with the S2k head. Alaniz is one, but the wait times can be extremely long.

Portflow / Laskey Racing is supposed to be pretty good as well.

I had mine done at Endyn:

theoldone.com

They do headwork for Honda and are a legend in the business.

has anyone shown substantial gains from a head job? i ask becuase even with FI there have been very little improvement......might want to spend the money elsewhere.

oh man, i'm so immature. i can't read this thread with out laughing at "head job"

anyways, to add something constructive: I'm getting my intake manifold port matched to my spoon throttle body by alaniz.

i'm hoping to get it done tomorrow or friday, but it's pending his schedule right now. i can talk to him about it and get you a first hand answer just as soon as i can get into the shop

The most you would ever see from a head is 10-15 WHP with stock cams. That's just the air flow headwork. If you bump compression by welding the combustion chambers or decking the head you will see some additional power. Now some cams to take advantage of the airflow at high lifts may increase the gains, but no one is really claiming it will give you lots of power.

Depends on the set up really. I remember reading of guys gaining, like LostMotion said, 10-15whp, but I've also heard of people getting near 50whp out of an alaniz head. I wish I could find the post now....i think it was sidewayz that had those results(he's FI).
