Don't let some joe schmoe do the headwork. Send it to a good shop like RLZ.

Cam is the same as camshaft.

Rocket Motorsports, Crower, Exospeed, Bisi all do good cams/springs.

RLZ, Alaniz, Portflow, Endyn, Rocket, DonF are in the NE?

The VJ on D16's is about as good from the factory as it can get for a stock bore engine. Only way I'd let someone touch one of my D heads is if they are on the above list.

VJ, chamber work, port work. Thats the order of importance for a good head.

I don't personally like the guys there but JE Imports is on route 40, they were on Honda Tuning I believe just recently with a 900whp? H22 turbo. They do good work but depends on how you rate customer service.

Yeah I personally go for what I like instead of price comparing, I'd rather spend a few extra dollars somewhere and know if theres an issue they will help me instead of saving a few and getting screwed later.
