I have heard good things about RHS. I just ordered two sets for my motors, so we will see, fingers crossed. Everything I read as far as build and dyno pulls shows dang good numbers, even compared to heads that cost waaay more.

Going with a blower ? What kind of power are you looking to make ? There is nothing cheap when you start building big inch motors .That said the cheapest part is the short block . just saying
