just doing some hypothetical shopping...

i'm considering buying the Dart 205 heads for my current setup....

and in the future (years most likely) i'd love to upgrade to a 383 ls1 block.

soooo

my cam 233/233 .589 112
383 ci
Dart 205 heads

would this make a torque monster down low??

The heads will restrict you. I know because I currently have 205s on my 383 and they are a restriction. I wish I had the 225s because of the room to grow. As fars as the cam it should make decent numbers. I have a bigger cam and made 475 rwtq out of my setup.

hmm...kindda figured that.

would love to save up for the TFS 215s...

i don't want to buy the heads NOW for mods that may take years to make.

thanks for the info.

by the way any dyno graph? where was your power peak and how was the torque?

Sigforty

Here was the graph before the engine was broken in. I have never scanned my final graph, but it was only a few HP and TQ higher than this one.

wow...your torque at 3500 rpm is similar to what alot of h/c stock cubes make peak.

impressive.

that's kindda what i'm looking for.

Save your money for the trick flows, you wont be dissapointed. I wish I had the money at the time to buy them but, I went and bought some other heads instead. The trick flows are a very high quality piece.

It is not a bad setup. With the 3.90 gears I have in the back it is a monster on the street. It really works good at the local road track as well. The car has great low end so it comes out the turns real quick. I am waiting for my new set of heads to see what the potential really is for this car. I have a set of Ls6 heads over at Larry Meaux's for his Max Effort job.
