Default Whose Running Dart Heads?

I am going to be having my engine rebuilt and the shop is a dealer for Dart heads. Is anyone running these, if so, what size head, Cam and what power are you putting down. They seem reasonably prices, might be worth it instead of redoing my stock 799 heads.

Dart's are junk out of the box. With a little work they can be alright, but by the time you spent the money to make them worth while you could have bought a proven product that makes power for less money.

If you're on a budget, look into A.I.'s 243/799 program. For around the same dollar amount as Dart heads you'll get a set that is guaranteed to make 40-50rwhp.

Thanks for the replies, Im going to bring the motor to the machine shop and see what it needs, if it doesnt need pistons, rods or a crank, then I will probably get heads, just not the Dart heads.
