I had a set of 32 valve heads for an LT1. I tyhink only three sets were ever made and I dont know if the otrher two ever got running. Mine did on a 396 lt1 with a vortech back in 97 about.

The reason the heads are never seen is that they are not legal for most racing classes. So they will never be popular at 6000$ or so. They are rumored to flow over 400 cfm for an ls.....Mnie did in lt1 configuration.

I have seen those Arias heads in person. Definitely huge heads. And look cool, but there are many other heads that easily outflow them, and the arias heads are crazy expensive.

both of those head sets are expensive. They do not flow the best and many other heads will beat them as far as power gains. I could see the money if they made way more power. But never saw the point in them for just a wow factor

If I won the lottery, I'd get a set of those hemi heads just to drop an LS in an old Mopar and watch eyes twitch at car shows.

was a good idea until they decided to charge $8,000.00 for then. then they didn't deliver them. then someone got killed. Needless to say ARAO is gone from what i can tell. Besides we can't keep rods from bending and lifters from breaking under a single spring load, much less under two spring loads.
