I have but have found nothing but conflicting information. I was hoping people who have actually used the DART heads would post here with their numbers and experience.

I just pulled a set of Dart 205's that I am cleaning up to sell. I picked up 26 hp with them over the stock 241's that were on the car. This was with a small 216/224 cam.
I know that some folks prefer the Dart's over other heads and with work in the valve area get very good numbers out of them. But the work is expensive and most guys don't understand the expertise required to do this and cry when they see the cost.

The PRC stage 2.5 5.3l heads are fully cnc ported with out double spring good to .660" lift for a good bit of money less than the out of the box Darts. Do some research online & in magazines, I think you'll find for the money the PRC heads will perform very well..

He did good to make it that clear. He's always in such a hurry that sometimes his typing is MUCH worse than that Yes, he meant "our".

CNC'd (that's what the OP asked about) Pro1 heads are around $1000 each bare or $1400 each assembled. The as cast heads are a bit less expensive though.

Correct, the more I look at it it seems the only way Ill really get a sure improvement over the PRC heads is by going with a Trickflow 215. Hope to see some dyno/track tests of the PRC 215 casting soon.
