has anyone ever used these guys. Prices seem crazy and know it is too good to be true. How can they give these prices with new parts, i doubt I could do it for that with used. parts.

Considering the fact that it's EASY to spend $1500-1800 on a stock rebuild of the cylinder heads alone, their prices seem a bit out of line. The Cap'n
