WHY YOU NEED CNC PORTED CYLINDER HEADS
Cnc ported cylinder heads are a must for anyone looking to expand the power potential of their engine! No matter if its boosted, Nitrous, or Naturally aspirated porting is not to be over looked. It is often thought that on a forced induction application like supercharged or turbo that the head restriction doesn’t matter and porting the cylinder heads is irrelevant because you are forcing the air in anyway. This could not be farther from the truth adding ported cylinder heads to your boosted application largely increases the effiiciencey of your combination allowing for lower boost numbers for the same net power, this largely lowers the strain on your innercooler system.
QUALITY WORK
Measurements in a performance engine are very crucial and the cylinder head is no exception. We take measurements very seriously and know exactly what you can and cannot get away with to ensure the best price and reliability.
WHY HOOPER’S HEADS?
Our goal has always been to work closely with our customers and ensure they get exactly what they want to fit their application and budget. Unlike large production-oriented cylinder head companies we aim to be there for you and make your experience as easy and smooth as possible.
PARTS WE USE
We take pride in using quality parts to ensure a long and satisfying use of our product!
CNC Porting
The main goal of our CNC porting service is to gain you maximum air flow from your stock or aftermarket cylinder head castings. We Spend many hours on the flow bench ensuring we find every bit of power hidden in your cylinder heads.
Custom Billet CAM Caps
MMR is no longer your only option for billet cam caps! We offer our own line of Hoopers Heads cnc billet cam caps! We not only produce these we can install them for you with the use of our custom cam journal boring fixtures.
Port Development
We offer custom port development for any application we do not currently have! No matter what your application we can design a custom port sized and shaped specifically for your application.
Surfacing
With the wide use of MLS head gaskets and the high power people are now creating with late model vehicles the cylinder head surface finish is more important then ever. We use a PCD cutter to ensure a RA of 11 or less
Valve Job
Not all valve jobs are created equal! We have spent many hours finding the right angles to use on specific cylinder heads to ensure maximum power and life expectancy from your combination
Hand Blending
Just a valve is not enough when performance is your goal! The transition from the port to the valve job is a very crucial area and must be addressed. We blend in this area by hand on all our valve jobs to ensure the best transition and the most air flow.
Chamber Softening
Chamber softening is a great practice on any power adder application. This relieves the quench pads and reduces detonation making for an easier tune up!
Assembly
This is not the time to just throw your heads together. At Hooper’s Heads we are sure to measure and inspect all the parts before assembly. No matter if we did the work or not we measure or double check spring pressure, guide clearance, installed height, and coil bind clearance on all our builds to ensure quality.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT US
Didn’t try to over sell what I didn’t need. The finished work was amazing. My new head port shop.
The Shop Truck
Awesome work for a great price. I had Shawn go through and revive some old LS 241 castings for me and they turned out great. Easy transaction, no bulls*** to mess with. Took all my cam profile information to ensure a package to perform well. Guy can do it all so definitely check him out.
Gray Arrington
Absolutely the best in the business for making big power and the best quality, we ship our heads to them all the way from Florida, if you want the best heads for a coyote, LS/LT etc, Shawn is the man!
Dalton Russell
Dealt with Shawn Hooper directly and it was a pleasure doing business. You can tell these guys have a passion for motor sports and it shows in their work. Had some 243 heads ported and the CNC finish and deck finish was better than the last few sets of AFR heads I’ve bought. Maybe that’s just the equipment they use, if you can’t compete on quantity then compete with quality. Turn around was less than two weeks and half that was waiting on valves to show up.
