I'm pretty sure I mistaken 1440 CLS block price with 03 MDX block Acura Carland sells for $1921.48. Someone asked me about it, sorry about that.
I heard there is a guy who selling full assembly USED (25K mi) CLS heads for $700. As far as completely NEW heads I'll ask on Monday along with double checking the NEW CLS 6MT block.
And I've got excellent condition USED (27k mi) CLS heads + upper/lower manifold $850 shipped.

you also have obx, etc., etc.
But 02AV6 wanted something he could count on perfect fitment, since all the other headers have had fitment issues for at least one person that I know of.

Honestly... with everything else that is on that car... all top quality parts, I wouldn't want anything other than Comptech on the car.
You should have them sent out to Jet Hot before you install them.

Steve, I PM you my phone.
I'll find out tonight the prices for NEW full assembly 6MT block and heads. They can't tell over the phone so I have to be there in person.

with all that work, wont you make as much just going with a 3.5 and supercharging. Or my personal favorite was the all motot turbo setup. I think the turbo would have been cheaper and netted more gains. But with that setup, the car should behave a little better and be more reliable.

BTW, I just spoke to my bro buddy who's going to install supercharger on his BMW 328i (less then 3200lbs) with IC 8psi costing $10K + installation. And in the spring we're going to line up together at the track and try to capture on video. Also, my friend with stock M5 with good tires wants to run me , so there will be a lot of fun soon .

I forward the pic to my installer and since I'll pick up my ride on Tuesday he's going to remove my axles and compare with your pic. Despite the fact AV6 and CLS have different part # as I checked, the shop believes they (axles) look the same. I'll let you know

I agree as well, very nice setup.. Once it starts getting warmer i'm planning on going mod crazy.. I have the CT headers and icebox installed so far, and CT s/c sitting waiting for install, but maybe i'll change out for something else before i get it installed. I think i might buy another block and build from that. 3.5L or 3.2? AV6 keep the numbers to all the places for the motor work handy, i'll be asking for them soon based on what kinda feedback you give. I can't wait to see some #'s, lemme know when your going to the track and what track your going to, cause i'll make sure i make a trip to see you run, and run myself.

We have every thing but the gauge so when that arrives hopefully all can be done at one time. These things do take more time and money then we anticipate at times(I'm sure your very aware of that). Best to you and your ride.
