Hey guys,
I am just wondering what you all think of this setup. I just recently latched onto a set of dart 225 heads. How do you think they will work with my cam, its a 224/224 .576/.576 112lsa. It is too much head for my stock bottom end? I mean TSP heads are a 235cc runner with a 2.04/1.60 valves, so really the darts 225 have smaller runner cc wise but they have a 2.05/1.60. So what kind of power will i be maken? And what are your comments on these heads with my setup. I think it will be good setup but just wanted some more opinions. Cars is a 6spd too.
Currently:
Cam-224/224 .576/.576 112lsa
LT and ORY with borla
LS6 Intake and Ported Throttle body
Plus all other bolt ons
Thx rob

Are those valves gonna fit within a stock bore motor?

That sounds like great set-up.
Double Quench Head
Small 62 cc Chamber for added compression
Good flow numbers
And a nicely match runner size 225

I would try to go with a .040 gasket to tighten up the Quench, but you will need to check on the PTV clearance with that cam.

Great combo

Kewl, when i obtain the head i will post some pictures. I am hopen for around 430rwhp but i dont know if that is realistic or not. Also with that .040 head gasket what will the compression be around? And with that smaller head gasket will i have to get short pushrods, since i already have harden one?I forget my size but there stock size.
thx rob

ttt once again for the pushrod question, if i have these dart 225 with a .040 gasket will i need short pushrods?If so what size?
thx rob

Honestly, I think the cam is going to be too small for 225cc runners. You're probably going to need to spin the motor upwards of 6700 rpm to get max horsepower out of the stock cubes and I don't know how high that 224 cam will go. Let us know what happens

OK so let me see here............You say that these head may be too big but compared to another head lets say TSP there runner is a 235cc with is 10cc bigger than these Dart 225cc. Although the darts have a 2.05/1.60 while the TSP have 2.04/1.60. So what is you answer to that JW. To me these heads seem to be smaller than most ported 243 head. Also these head flow better than most 243 out of the box. Correct me if i am wrong, I just dont see where these heads are bigger than say a TSP or even a LPE ported 243 head.

why not go with afr heads?they have a 225cc.slp sells a package that consits off the afr 225 cc and a big cam it they posted 600hp.give slp a call they could help u out.but the way i see u cam could be a bit bigger.my setup is going to be afr 205's and a mild cam and on full bolt ons it rated at 430 rwhp.add 100 shot u see past 500 rwhp

AFR are too expense for my taste, i already got the Dart 225, i just wanted opinions. I got the head dirt cheap. I guess no one else see what i am tryen too say. Plus slp's numbers are rated at the crank i believe. There is noway i dont think to obtain 600 rwhp on head and cam only. I believe my setup will be good. I know i may lose a lil down low due to the bigger heads, but it should pull like a raped ape up top to where i shift around 6400. My only point was to be that the Dart 225 are not really any bigger than an ported 243 head but in a sense they are smaller besides the valves.

i know what you're sayin. most ported stock heads are 230cc+ and a whole lot of people are using them with 224* cams. i think you'll be fine. just be sure to post numbers when you get the chance.
