Anyone running aftermarket heads or ported OEM heads on their 5.7l Hemi?
Looking for input on how they perform and how much you spent.
I have a tick/squeak in the top end of my motor and plan on installing some upgrades that I have amassed. While doing such upgrades I feel the need to make sure I find and fix this noise. Its pretty apparent it's in the valve train. Instead of pulling the heads and sending them out I am thinking that maybe I will buy a set of performance heads to install in place of the old ones, so it's really just a swap.
Of course, I would probably add a cam to this package. No reason to put performance heads on with a stock cam.....
I know Moe's sells their package and honestly, it's just to much money for me to justify right now. I have found a few other heads out there. Edelbrock is coming out with some and an intake manifold. Their performer series is decent and from the price of other Make/Model in that series, they should be below or around $1k which I can live with.
Any input is appreciated.
