Default Dart 225s Fully ported value

I have a set of Dart Pro 1 225cc heads that are fully ported. Just pulled them off to put on some L92s to drop the compression. What are they worth? The prices I've seen on this site range from 1200 for used complete heads to 2300 for assembled solid roller compatible valve train with a cnc port. Is 1700 too much for my heads?

Thanks

Who ported? How far were they ported (current cc)? VJ too? Milled? What are the other valvetrain componets and how many miles? Were they flowed and do you have a flow sheet?

All the above affect the value of the heads.

they were ported by a shop in the DFW area called extreme hp solutions. The valves are whatever valves came with the heads from dart - 2.05, 1.60. I have no idea on flow or cc after the portwork. Stephen @ ETMC pulled them off to drop some L92s on and described them as "FULLY ported". They made 494 rwhp on my 403 with a fast 90/90 long tubes, 11:1 and a big cam. I have a set of unused LS6 springs and retainers that will go with the heads.

I guess the next thing to do would be get them flowed.

you really need to spend 75$ and have them flow tested and if they flow 340+ about 1400 is fair w/o springs
