Default Dart heads

I know that for the ls1 that AFR's are proven. Has anyone had experience with Dart heads that are cast but not CNC'd? I believe GM Tech mag did a four different head comparisona and they came up about the same as the others.

IMO they are the best bang for the buck, I recomend them to all my customers. And with a little port clean-up they're even better. I can post some before and after pics if you'd like.

There are quite a few results in the dyno section, do a search.

In GMHTP Dart heads came in last or second to last with the power made..... not a big issue but there was enough diff between the AFR and TFS and the DART so I dont know if I would buy them.

I dont have the magazine with me, its at work ill check on the #'s tommorrow.

Dart heads are popular here in Louisiana. Actually Futral Motorsports has put them on everything from a 346 to a 427. They would probably be the most knowledgable source on the Dart heads since they have so many combos with them.

I will add that I am running Dart 205s on my car with boltons and a F14 cam. I made 452 rwhp and 423 rwtq corrected. The car DOES NOT have a Fast 90/90 setup or an electric water pump.

IMO, there are plenty of cheaper alternatives. If you port them theyre a nice intermediate between the ported ls6 heads and the AFRs.
