every last one of us is looking for a BARGAIN, or a free lunch, and most of us older guys know from experience that you tend to get what you pay for and if it looks to good to be true thats probably the case! but when we see what we think is a "deal" we half to at least look because the price seems too low to pass up.

The castings are made over seas, like some others. We assemble them ourselves in the in USA. They are not Pro-Comp, they're ours. The flow numbers I'm posting here are from our own bench, which uses Audie Technology software and sensors. I would point out that our bench is calibrated with plates, when we test other brands of heads most of the very good higher end brands match up with what the companies that make them claim, so it compares well. On our Bench, these heads do not out flow all the competitors, the high end brands flow better, but we flow better than some of the lower end brands. As of now these are only available with an as cast port and chamber. We have used a lot of these heads on engines and have not had any problems with the castings. The valves we use are made in the US and South America, pretty much the same valves that just about everyone uses. Same deal with springs and retainers, pretty standard items. I don’t have any cutaway pics, but I would not characterize these heads as having extra thick decks for big time power adders, but they are very good normally aspirated.
At 28 inches H2O
Exhaust Intake
.100 54.9 69.9
.200 101.6 128.9
.300 141.6 178.1
.400 156.5 213.3
.500 167.9 245.1
.600 171.2 242.1
considering they are aluminum, and flow much better than the vortec heads that cost in a similar price range , these heads are not a bad deal, they are certainly not up to the standards of BRODIX , TRICKFLOW or AFR but they don,t cost the $200-$600 more a pair that those 195cc aluminum heads cost either
YOULL WANT TO USE ARP HEAD BOLTS, WITH THE SMALLER REBATED HEAD HEX SIZE, AS STOCK BOLTS DON,T REALLY FIT WELL
youll NEED ADJUSTABLE PUSH ROD GUIDE PLATES AS THE STOCK GUIDE PLATES AND THE MACHINE PUSH RODS HOLES DON,T LINE UP PERFECTLY, in fact they will be MANDATORY
youll OBVIOUSLY NEED TO DO A PORT AND BOWL CLEAN UP AS THE FINNISH WORK TIME JUST WAS NOT THERE (AS EXPECTED IN BARGAIN HEADS)
theres a reason you pay more for BRODIX, AFR and TRICKFLOW HEADS, and ITS NOT ALL IN BETTER FLOW NUMBERS
