Default Wow, new heads everywhere

I wonder why it took so long but it seems alot of people are making lsx heads now. Dart, AFR, Edelbrocks and the price competition between the Patriots, etc is great. We waited long enough.

Ok, I just looked at the Darts. They flow just a little less than the AFR counterparts.

Looks like the Dart 205 is 296 on the intake and the Dart 225 is 313 on the intake.

Untouched is defentially the wrong word to describe out of the box aftermarket casting heads.
They have all been touched alot.
They are CnC ported just like every other ported head.
AFR made some badass heads and having them reported is a waste of money.

From what I have been told by a cylinder head expert, the new world products heads are going to be very impressive. Much better than either of the numbers I just saw from the Dart. But I quess we will have to actually wait and see how good they really are once they hit the market.

Has anyone seen the Dart head pricing yet? Most of their regular Chevy heads run $600 to $700 each. Maybe the competition will force the prices down to what everyone else is paying.

[QUOTE=Full-Force]Ok, I just looked at the Darts. QUOTE]

Where?

Nevermind. I just went to Dart's site. I didn't see pricing. What are the valve angles? They already have the small chamber with the big runner as well! Not to mention the chamber is already smaller than the AFR's.

things are looking better. brodix always seems to be a lil higher on the price than dart, but both of their heads flow very well (small block wise)
should be interesting in the pricing when all the heads become available.
