Engine Mod -Head plus Cam -Which Head is THE best for the $
I am leaning towards an advanced engine mod (EveryDay driver, tracks 5+ times a year). I have the Usual Upgrades already: Pulley, Exhaust, ECU, Intake, Suspension, wheels and tires ... and contemplating:
1. Shrick CAM - The best
2. Head -port, polished, etc...?
3. Larger Injectors
4. Larger Throttle Body
5. Lightweight Crank Pulley ?
6. Oil Catch Can -m7 vs ALTA
BUT, there are numerous choices for the HEAD ... The options are confusing and COSTLY !!!

What would be BEST BET for the COST Involved ?
Thanks for the replies ...and NO flames needed
We've got Several Diffrent levels of Cylinder head available for any range of cost. Starting at 1000 for Dyno proven 13HP and 11ft lbs Torque. We have cars that have made 20HP using our higher leve heads even with out the Schrick Cam. The Cam will held these cars make even more power.
I sent you a message, I am wondering the differences: A daily driver, track monster only on occasion, so reliability and longevity and cost factor into the decision
Webb Head includes the Schrick Cam I believe, your head I would have to add that cost to it.
GAINS in HP between the different heads? I see the graphs are not HP changes, except the first Head one
I don't know the long term effects of the Lightened pieces or more radical head work either
Here is a quote from one of our customers about our head work with out a CAM.
Quote:
your headwork with DPR is the reason for the more than +20 WHP difference
That is with the Race 2 version. That is more then the other companies even claim with a Cam shaft upgrade. Add a CAM to that, and you would be up near 25HP. We have the most advanced heads on the market, and have the most development time into it. With a full range of complimenting products, including Retainers, Shims, Valves, High Performance Seals, etc. We can offer the most complete package that is on the market today, Hands Down.

Good pitch Dan. You just about have me sold on the Race 2. How about you quote a price for the Race 2 with the appropriate cam installed in it.
When the time comes, which will be this winter, I am planning on stripping down my car and will make it race ready for BMWCCA Modified. I do believe that a head and cam are legal.

Greg,
Great to have you aboard. Look forward to talking to you.
I have updated the site to allow for full pricing of cylinder heads. Take a look here.
