Have any of you guys heard or used this Head package on your Z's? Im just curious as to whether or not its any good. And most importantly if its producing the numbers it claims its can. I was thinking about using on my S13 but none of the guys have heard of it, and maybe you guys have.Heres the original post that got me curious about it. Its from 2 years ago.

gude racing head package... I saw their racing package for the ka24de, and was curious so I called

and they told me their head package includesintake manifold,throttle bodycustom camsport/polish on alotta stuff, don't really remember all the stuff she said

and also they said it'd give a 40% in hp increase...so I did the math, say I'm getting 130 at the wheels, that'd be about 52 hp increase....kinda hard to believe...

all of this for $2150-500(core)=1650... that's w/ shipping

I dunno it seems this is kind of hard to believe, any thoughts on this?

I know they used to be big in honda cams, the stock YTB is pretty decent if you wanted bigger you can bolt on the Q45 TB, honestly if I were gonna spend taht kinda coin on a head I might look at a local builder and save on the shipping, most speed shops will have a flow bench and be able to do your port work, oversized valves etc, and you can buy the cam profile to suit your needs from any one of a number of suppliers
