He has a 2.4 as where most do a 2.1-2.2-2.3 and thus the head is built differant for clearance for the 2.4LR motor. He is also useing FP4R cams.

Actually no. This head is special in that it was built for the bastard evo 8 before the 9 LOL. We all know what the bastard family of evos has been doing. Its a custom head built by a Supra Preformace shop mike had it done. Everything in the head is custom made pretty much and aggressive porting job done to it Polished as well. Custom made dual spring and titanium retainers, New Valve Seals, Oversized valves. The only thing it does not have is o-ringed and me and mike talked about it when he took it to machine shop to get cleaned up redecked etc type deal and mike felt the head was already beastly before and on his mid 9sec 735whp bastard evo with no o-ring job so not needed.

The head is a 1 off head and a beast so im assuming thats adding into the blue bombers power and why its not even hurting or sweating to make 586whp and basically not **** to it. SO I THANK MIKE EVERYDAY BECAUSE HE COULD HAVE KEPT THIS BEASTLY HEAD(as he did for awhile) BUT HE CUT ME A STUPID DEAL ON IT TO AID IN ENSURING THE BLUE BOMBER WILL MAKE POWER

Mike is a big part of the car success you dont have to live in flordia for AWD to show you love

I am jealous and envious of this 9-second head! I can't wait to see how the power goes up on your car Rockster once you get the heavier spring installed in your MBC. GL!

Yea man i really am hoping low boost setting is between 26-30 psi so then this pump gas map can happen then once that happens we can see what limit this monster wants to go to.
