Default Performance Heads

Can anyone suggest any companies known for building race heads? Looking to have my F22 built for high boost.

All you need to do to your head is titanium retainers and possibly a P&P job if you want to push higher boost. The stock cam is fine. You should only change the valve springs, guides, etc if you want to rev higher.

No offense, but it's not an NA V8 where the heads are a major part of it....

Yeah, I looked at those guys when I first started working on my car, but a little research will show you that you DO NOT want to mess with them.

I think you should start with low boost for a while and get the feel for it....

Thing is I just picked up another head so I've got it to build before dropping it into my accord. All I know is that when I worked out the numbers for doing it myself and the cost to have one of these companies do it, it would save me close to $500 to have them do it. Anyone else have any complaints about the aformentioned companies? Enough nays and I'll stay away

the F block and head are made of iron...that is strong *** ****...its heavy, but it would take astronomical amounts of boost for problems to occur unless you dont have it tuned and built right....

Having it built right is what I'm trying to do
