I dont know if anyone has seen this, but looks like a pretty sweet deal.

Yeah. I thought about getting but decided just use the head i have

 

where'd you get those cams in your thread?

 

That head has been around for a while. Ive personally seen 5 STGII heads w/ Patriot(and MantaPart) valvtrain fail. Stick with stock LSJ/LNF for better valves, and Ferrea for valves/springs. SUpertech is popular, but Ive never been able to confirm or disprove if they are who makes Patriot and Mantaparts house brand valves.

 

From Comp Cams

 

I googled comp cams, and nothing came up the first time. weird.

 

Comp cams in my car. Cheaper if you purchase through TTR

Comp Cam Specs more clearly

 

does anyone know if the new vlaves are larger than stock? it says the valves diameter, but not the stock ones, so i dont have a size difference. At any rate, I would probably buy the head from OTT Perofrmance

 

That's a pretty sweet head.

 

they are over sized valves i believe

 

Yes the STGII head has +1mm oversize valves.

Its debateble whether they are worth it on an NA car or not.

 

i've been running that head for about a year now...have yet to really be able to take advantage of it though since I'm still on stock cams for now.

if i had to do it all over again i'd put the money into the bottom end. oh, and just to save anyone the trouble...know that you must make an EGR blockoff plate since you'll get an old style head.

 

And that head only works on 05-06 Balts.

 

my head looks like that
