best place in the country is near heathrow, hes an ex f1 engineer, done mine for me, but he gets very busy. he does a lot of touring cars to full race spec etc
pricewise you are looking at 350 to 600 depends on your valves and what you actually want!
if you are really interested il get his number for you

Dont know if he's still going but i had the head done on my 2litre 16 valve nova by Bill Blydenstein.
Former racing engineer and developer of engines.
Did a cracking job.
Bill Blydenstein 01763 272866
Specialised in Vauxhall,but in my opinion a head is a head
Hope that helps.

can you get the name of the company and number please mate cheers
What are the advantages of gas flowing forced induction engines?
gas flowing does not actually do anything to the head, all gas flowing does is show you how well the head flows air.
i.e it is put on a flowbench and the efficiency of the head is measured.
for anyone that has paid for a gas flowed head and nothing else, pat yourself on the back for spending money on nothing..lol
the actuall work to make a head more efficient has f"ck all to do with gas flowing

you get the impression that some people think that gasflowing is a process that enhances the heads efficiency. It isn't, its the method used to test the heads abillity to flow air and then any effect any work that has been done to the head has had.Jon Olds said:
but im sure you know all that anyways.
For those that dont know.
The actuall process that improves the heads abillity to flow is achieved by carefully removing sharp edges and rounding out corners in the ports, mainly working at the roof of the port where the highest flow takes place and working on the valves and valve seats. This is a mechanical process that involves removing metal with grinding stones.
my point being gasflowing is not a modification by itself, but a method to test the work that has been carried out.

This site http://www.pumaracing.co.uk probably has the best and most informative info about head work on the net..

is true what you said kieron, but porting would be a waste of money without having the head gas flowed properly afterwards!(which i think is the point your making)
i think matey who started this thread was intending to have the head ported / polished and gasflowed, but people dont realise that the two both work in conjunction with each other.
a lot of people use the term gasflowed thinking it means the total process!
another thing i was told is that if you have the ports polished, that it is not a good idea to have the inlets mirror finished as this in turn will have an adverse effect on performance!

got it!1&onlygti-r said:
his name is kenny cooper nr heathrow, he builds some of the finest drag engines in the country aswell, hes got a very good reputation throughout racing fields and his number is:0797 6254999
this is the best time to get it done as he gets very very busy nearing the start and throughout the race season!
he did a fantastic job on mine and it really has made a vast difference to performance!
by the way hes not my mate or nothing like that, just want you to know that im not gaining nothing from reccomending him, but his work deserves reccomendation, i will only give out names to people who's work i have seen and fully trust to be 100% bang on
