my buddy tells me that a set of champions will really wake my car up! are the aluminum heads worth it ($1695), how much should i expect on an 11.5 sec car?
Where you getting that price from?my buddy tells me that a set of champions will really wake my car up! are the aluminum heads worth it ($1695), how much should i expect on an 11.5 sec car?
Every where I looked they are $1,895.
Yes that's probably it. I talked to him not to long ago as well. I have his quote in a email.It may be on champion site. The last I looked the ported irons were $1195, but they’re about $1395 if you can find them now. Tom told me the website hasn’t been updated in years the last I spoke with him.

If you want and have the combo to run 10 sec change the heads,if your going to run in the 11s leave the stock heads on there till they give.with a set of ported heads there are lots of other changes that you should do to take advantage of the flow,otherwise you will just make the same power at a lower boost level.my buddy tells me that a set of champions will really wake my car up! are the aluminum heads worth it ($1695), how much should i expect on an 11.5 sec car?

Well not a stock motor not a stock Cam not stock compression and not a stock torque converter.just for startersWhat would these changes be?
I'm building a engine and will be using the aluminum heads as well.
Oh okWell not a stock motor not a stock Cam not stock compression and not a stock torque converter.just for starters
my buddy told me to follow your advice!Any sentence that starts with ''my buddy told me'', is usually crap.
If you have a mid 11 street car it's already "waked up". That being said if your heads are untouched, odds are they're in dire need of a valve job. I'd pull them, put OS valves in there so you get new meat on the intake seats, replace any exhaust seats if needed (there's not OS valve for that side), do a bowl port, clearance the pedestals for future roller rockers, and cut the exhaust guides for seals. Verify your springs are good, replace if not, then bolt them back on.
You'll get damn near all the benefits from new heads for a lot less money.
