A set of heads that have been ported & polished, with modified cams.

A Xcal flasher.

Leda suspension kit, with Eibach springs.

Send PM's with offers or questions, the LS has been retired. It had a good life!

On to next project car...

What are you asking for the Leda shocks? Got any pics of them?

Posted by: xcadia

@Ken, the susp. has just sold and went with the BBK kit. Thanks though.

The heads are heavy so shipping is expensive. approx 90$ for both boxes.

Xcadia - what are you doing with your LS?

Posted by: PM80

What kinda power gains did u get from the port and polish? Also did u replace the cam? If so is it available also?

how much for the heads and cams???

@ Quick: The LS had to be retired. We blew her bonnet off! It was sad....... I already sold it a friend who is a dealer.

@J3FF: Working on the cams made a great improvement. The headers were a butch though, the whole lower member section had to be removed to custom build. We could not make a jig for more to be made because it was extremely tight in there to design equal length sections. But for the next person to go this way we feel a single turbo can be built right there. It was to much trouble to remove the headers so they went with the car. Truthfully I feel headers did not make enough gain for the price and time.

@Solace: I still have 1 set of heads left with modified cams in them. I only want to send these to someone who does not rely on there LS as a daily driver. I gambled on my LS and over pressured it.

We saw TRQ numbers decrease with the headers which made us sad. But the cam work put us way back on top.

On the porting we did 3 different sets that I have to look back into this later to give correct info. I took a set from Brian over at LLSOC and used his heads as base to start with. The last set we ported to match the carbon fiber gasket we were using, ended up not so good there!

The polishing was the hardest. Trying to improve flow with a maxed out throttle body already seemed pointless. We had problems with gaskets at first but help came from Banks with ideas on correct finishes.

To answer your question the LS sounded like a DB9 and was so responsive that you did not want to stop driving it.

Xcals have tunes based on which flash your car has it's computer. So you must get tunes to match your car. It would be lucky if his tunes match your car. Wrong tune flashed to your computer = no start.

what are u asking for it.

Posted by: xcadia

I am answering the pm's here. sorry but it is easier for me to do it this way. check with Torrie / Fastparts or your local tune shop to see if they can download a tune for you on this xcal1. If they can I will sell it to you negotiating a price after we talk about how much you are being charged for the tune.

You need to have tunes downloaded for your car!
