HOLY CRAP!!! those look seriously nice...for an as cast head i can imagine quite a few porters who could make those some serious flowing heads. I'm guessing 345 and 285 could be acheived.

These heads were at the PRI trade show and yes, they are made by All-Pro and for now distributed bt Callies. All-Pro does some killer sprint car stuff and the design here is somewhat similar in thinking by the looks of things, like the runner size, port design, spring pockets size, rocker arm bosses, etc.. The intake runners are a big 237cc, and that is in as cast version, but flow numbers are down some for a port that big. After some work this may be a viable option for a heavy forced induction car or big cubes (427+) Hope this helps.

As Mike said...the heads are cast, designed and manufactured by All-Pro. Their POTENTIAL is awesome. Speaking for myself, these guys are one of the ones I was waiting for before I invested too much time into R+D on aftermarket LS1 heads.
In my opinion, the majority of LS mods are based on (relatively speaking) limited components at this time. As of now, everyone gets the hint of the HP potential of this powerplant. But the majority of the aftermarket is focused on OEM components and rather conservative. All Pro has never been known to build heads for mass-market....They build heads for hardcore racers....Although I would like to see a few changes (especially in the chamber) I think they will prove in a very short time how to take the LS1 platform to an all new level. It's a shame ALLPro doesn't manufacture intakes at this time also....
I can't wait to see what this topic is like in 5 years....Life is good

I think that these will turn out to be more of a DIY Guy head with a nasty all motor setup, or big power adder.
I do like that option, but I REALLY like to just bolt on a set of AFRs with the supporting mods and make 475 rwhp. Its the biggest No brainer since the LS1 came out

Personally I feel that an engine dyno will provide a clearer answer and that may take some time.
