New ARE Heads install same results as stock heads Hello All,
Helped a friend install a set of ARE Stage 3 Heads he had bought them from a fellow board member.The car before the heads when I owned it ran the times in my sig with just the cam st3500 stall and stock heads.We in stalled the ARE stage 3 heads and replaced the yank st3500 with a yank 4200 that was all that was replaced.Took the car to the track saturday for the 1st time since install and it ran almost the same times as with the stock heads and 3500 stall and actually a little slower.No gain in trap speed or et.Weather was colder than the time in my sig.Logged a run down the track with HPTuners and timing looked good only had 02's to go by but they were right around 890-910 and no knock retard was present.Looking back over this post https://ls1tech.com/forums/lsx-parts-sale/436676-stage-3-ls6-heads-1600-shipped.html this is the actual heads he bought i think the heads are just too big for his application.Seen where he said these would be good for a stroker motor
Would this be the problem?Any help appreciated.
