Default Experience with gude's head package?

I was looking at Gude's website and saw they have "complete" head packages offered. they claim up to a 50hp gain.... All bull$hit asside, has anyone ever had any experience with them or their head work?

I had a gude top end on my all motor LS. it was alot of fun but I def didn't gain 50whp as stated, maybe 20.

what motor are you trying to build, Im sure there are better options for you, crower, skunk2 maybe bisi.

50hp is certainly attainable from good headwork, cams, and a retune. It will be realized even more on larger, higher compression motors.

f22, so skunk and any other major aftermarket supplier is pretty much out of the picture except for Bisi. When the funds are right, id like to take action, but for right now im still trying to organize thoughts and ideas as to what is the best bang for buck. Head work seems to be the best HP per dollar so far

ya It was def a good buy, when i got my stuff I bought it used on ebay for 500 shipped for the head which was ported along with gude cams and all matching valvetrain and a new head gasket so I couldn't pass it up.

later down the road I wanted to go with crower 404's but decided to do a ls/v but I enjoyed the all motor ls alot more.
