Not a bad deal; you'd need the NRHS mount to put the XB heads on your S1 as the front mounting hole is 1/2" off from stock. You'll also need matching pistons. I can't tell from the pics whether or not the heads were cut for a squish band but you'd need to find out and get pistons that match the squish. Those heads stock came with 0* squish, so flat tops would be in order (unless going with higher compression). However, it is common, and the recommendation (if ordering new pistons as well), of NRHS to cut a 15* squish band in these heads to use with thunderstorm type pistons.

Which is it?

Title of auction says stage 2, listing description says stage 3? Does this guy know what he's talking about?
