I really would just be satisfied with 7500, since that's all my tach will accommodate, im eventually going to get a bigger tune, right now I'm running 550cc injectors and probably around 300 hp, eventually ill want meth injection and around 800cc injectors and a new tune.

So the more money i can save on the head the quicker i will be able to get a tune.

I'm really trying to price out the more necessary parts and the more bang for my buck, and then weigh my options.

What would you suggest?
Thank you for your response, I greatly appreciate it.

1.8t 20v Supertech valve spring set with titanium retainers
All you need for 7500...
Later on, you can do cams, oversized valves, and a port and polish. Bigger valves will require some machining, so you should do that with the port and polish.
As always, buy everything from Ringer Racing.

If your rebuilding a stock head with high rev valve springs you want to at least upgrade the exhaust valves to a set of solid inconel valves. The stock exhaust valves are sodium filled and when that evaperates the valves become hollow and can end up splitting apart. Stock size valves are perfectly fine unless your looking to push well over 500whp.

If you need a head built I am able to have that done by a local machine shop here in Socal, shipping the head wont be all that expensive.
