What heads are these? Compare similarly with AFR 225s on the intake side...

relatively cheap heads actually, i had a porter work them over for me..... not AFR's..

all non sponsor stuff, so i kept names out...

also remember, the exhaust side is without a pipe, where as AFR's are flowed with a 1 7/8's( believe) so the exhaust side should look a tad lower... they also flowed theirs on a larger fixture 4.125(if i recall correctly) instead of the 4.030 that i had mine flowed on... so there are a couple differences there.....

just curious if people think they will make good power.... etc.... if i got a good head on my hands etc..

Well then I'd say you more than likely have a good set of heads on your hands. Flow numbers aren't everything, but I'd be astounded if they didn't make good power.

I'd be willing to bet those are the new TSP heads, man those guys make some good stuff!!

I'd bet with a stock bottom end you could see 500whp with a good cam like the T-Rex!!!

I'd think you'd need a very high lift cam to compensate for the crappy low lift numbers, but they do have a good average to them though!

Only 323 @ 600, they'll never make any power without a 252/266 @ .050 on a 108.5 LSA
