What exactly is fast?said they can fix it. if i wanted to keep doing what im doing or turn it up more, i need to swap to a different guides and iconel exhaust valves...better springs..
which at that point i was ready just to jump up to the big boy heads and repair these back to how they were (cheaply). their f-series heads come with upgraded springs and guides. so the only added costs would be for the different valves but they have a raised intake/exhaust runner which means i would have needed to find more room to go up with the intake. more money, more power, but i dont think i can find the extra height.
would have been easier just to starrt with a fresh set of heads, but they're on backorder/sold out for a few months basically. so sending mine in was the fastest option
A week turnaround would be great service right now. Most companies in the custom (as well as non custom) automotive world right now are months behind for whatever reason. Some of it is difficulty getting parts from suppliers, some are saying they’re just super busy because of so many people being laid off and having all kinds of time to finally start the projects they’ve been putting off for years (I don’t know where they’re getting the money though but maybe the government has been taking care of that) and some of it is the difficulty they encountered gearing up to work under Covid restrictions. I know in my case I was looking at getting my billet wheels reworked and they were looking at 4-5 MONTHS of turnaround where it’s usually 6-8 weeks, and the last time I had to send my trans in after I broke the output shaft they said they couldn’t even get a date on parts from Sonnax because that company was still completely shut down and had run out of inventory so I couldn’t get them to do an upgrade because the parts were unavailable. But that company, Performabuilt, rebuilt my trans in one day and shipped it out the next. And under warranty even though it was my fault it broke, and was out of warranty by about a year. They suggested we insure it through UPS because they said they had 4-5 transmissions go completely missing in shipment in the prior 2 months, never to be seen again. They said before Covid, UPS had never lost a single one. Something to keep in mind.
