KikoSanchez182 05-06-2002, 08:13 PM hey, somebody that has experience with them or knowledge of them, could you please give me an estimate of how much each stage costs and more importantly approximately how much hp can expect to be gained from each stage. Thnx, devo BORNGEARHEAD 05-06-2002, 08:21 PM Ditto. What's the price of each stage and what is all included? My purpose would be for an all-motor application. If anyone would have this info it would be greatly appreciated. I am starting to research my all-motor bracket racer. Vroom vroom. llaprad1 05-06-2002, 08:42 PM I think they're not available anymore. I seem to remember Dan Paramore going out of business or something... 97 Black SER 05-06-2002, 08:56 PM I believe Andreas will do custom headwork. Give him a call. llaprad1 05-06-2002, 09:01 PM Originally posted by 97 Black SER I believe Andreas will do custom headwork. Give him a call. Really? What does he *not* do?!? thepep 05-06-2002, 09:09 PM Originally posted by llaprad1 I think they're not available anymore. I seem to remember Dan Paramore going out of business or something... He is still in business. How do I know? He built my custom high compression motor for me late last year and is now doing an intake manifold for me. He did have a major business problem a year or two ago, bad partner or something along those lines, but it was all straightened out a while ago. His contact information is on his web page www.dpr-racing.com.

Thnx, devo Dan is a great guy. Very knowledgable and will go the full distance for you. I can't comment on all of his Stages but I got the Stage 5 done and it was in the neighborhood of $1200. This was with a whole engine buildup so this price may not be reflective of what others would pay.

Bowlcut 05-07-2002, 11:22 AM no dan did quit for a while...then he came back. there was a bunch of speculation on why, like tax evation, but who knows and who cares :). He is one of the few id trust my head with thepep 05-07-2002, 01:32 PM Originally posted by MickeyNXSR20det So how did your car run after the build up ? Did you ever race it ?? Dyno numbers ??? I haven't installed the motor yet. I'm waiting for the JWT high compression program. Hopefully by the beginning of June. I'll keep everyone posted with updates. Steve Geo 05-07-2002, 09:21 PM My Stage VI head ran $1,500 plus an additional $500 for options. I wouldn't be inclined to use DPR again though. 97 Black SER 05-07-2002, 09:31 PM Originally posted by Geo91SER My Stage VI head ran $1,500 plus an additional $500 for options.

I don't think I want to go there in a public forum. Geo 05-08-2002, 08:11 AM Originally posted by BORNGEARHEAD What was all done for that price? Port/polish, vavle job, reshape combustion chambers, port/polish intake manifold, heavy duty valve springs, coat the valve stems with an anti-friction coating, hone the valve guides, cc the combustion chambers, mill the head flat.

O autoxer7 05-08-2002, 06:11 PM Originally posted by OnyxEros so what would you recommend? O Bob Legere or JWT. I think Legere was mentioned recently in SCC with regards to a built GA16. He's also done work with the SR20. Steve autoxer7 05-08-2002, 06:22 PM Originally posted by 97 Black SER Just curious, why not? From a performance standpoint you're not getting much for your money. I bought an SE-R with the DPR stage VI head with 11:1 compression and all the bolt ons and it only puts down 150hp/138ft-lb. The numbers should be closer to 160hp. I think part of the problem is the configuration the previous owner spec'd. He used 10.5:1 pistons, so to compensate DPR ended up making the combustion chambers even smaller (39cc vs. 42cc in the "Kojima" motor?). If you crave NA power then for the amount of money you'd spend on a DPR head you'd be better off getting a VE. Steve sleeping 91ser 05-08-2002, 06:45 PM I've talked to Dan before and he's a real nice guy and knows his stuff and will help you decide the best head for your wants or needs, I would trust him with my head as well.
