Re: ported and polished LS head for TURBO (JCushing)
my camera isnt that good with shiny parts at a close up but i can get better pics if requested...
im tinkering with the idea of b20/vtec so my skunk2 intake mani for an ls might go with the head if i get a vtec head for a good price...

Re: ported and polished LS head for TURBO (JCushing)
The head work was done by a friend of a friend.... no paperwork exists for it as that head was not 'shop worked' (meaning it was side work) That head belonged to me and I had it for a period of time on my turbo LS.
I will vouch for the potency of that head/PnP job. The intake ports were done mild/aggressive and the exhaust ports are aggressive. The head also has 'bowl work' to the combustion chamber, which is something not commonly done with port work, but it reduces hot-spots and deters detonation (very important in high CR and FI motors).
When I ran that head (with stock LS internals at the time), it felt like an extra 2 Psi of boost. It does loose a little bottom end, but more than makes up for it in the top end (after 3500 or so) with a tremendous (I am not exaggerating) surge of power after 5K rpm.
This head is golden and a steal at $500.... and since JSCushing never actually used the head... I will guarantee there has been <200 miles on the head since the PnP job.
Good buy
