stage 1 head installation(zpi)
i'm very close to purchasing a stage 1 head from zpi. My questions are:
1. can the "average joe" install this new head?
2. if not, what kinds of places install it and what range is the price of labor going to be?
thanks

I would not recommend installing the head unless prior experience. If im not mistaken, the only thing that makes this job so difficult is because of the timming chain. Install , i have no idea what it would cost. why dont you get into contact with ZPI and ask them them questions, or they will probably answer them here shortly. If you search though, im sure this topic has been discussed a few times, and you might find your answer.
The head package is Very nice though, i would get it.

not hard at all BESIDES the timing chain... when i yanked my engine apart it was very easy... then again the motor was out of the car which makes life 100x easier... i think with someone there who is a little bit more than your backyard mechanic you could do it...

I really dont know for sure. That was just a guess. Kind in mind if ZPI mean 21whp on stock airbox and stock exhaust then that claim wasnt with a turbo. I'm sure the gains would be alot more on turbo car. Thats what I meant when I said "40ish" Sorry I forgot this was posted in Drivetrain and power.
