I was only asking to get $450 through the BBB. They still haven't responded to that though and I doubt they will. If it goes to small claims though I'm getting full retail cost plus more for labor, and time I had to pay for rides to get to and from work. So basically $3000 or whatever the limit is in small claims:alright . I ended up using Eagle Automotive Machine. I have pics somewhere, but I highly recommend using them as do a few other people on the board.

I don't know exactly b/c i did a lot of work during the time my car was down and replacing the coils was one of them. SO I'm not sure on the exact gain or where my car stands Hp wise.
The cost of Port and Polish was around $600 plus they had to replace the valve guides and some other stuff so the full price with a used head from Eagle was $1300.
Chix should have paid me to do the work and after i bring them to small claims they will have paid for the whole repair/upgrade. :alright
Whenever I actually get some money saved for a paint job I'll replace the subframe with one that Halston sold me, plus get clears all the way around and Angel Eyes. This is where most of the money from Chix will be going:redspot .

When i get home I'll try to find the pics of the head Eagle ported and polished. The difference is night and day. I also think that there is a pic with the two heads side by side.
