It's in post 13.

I am tempted to get those myself. Depends on what is in the classifieds here once I gather funds I guess.

If you can get a set of used 243's look up Lloyd Elliot.

I want to thank you for posting that bit of info . Do you expect a 20 cfm difference if they tested with a 1.875 by 4" pipe on the exhaust v.s. none ?

Keep in mind large flow numbers @ .600 lift + are not going to help anyone using a plastic intake. Go with bigger .300 to .575 flow numbers for plastic. That's why these heads are so competitive and cost efective.

Yep, recall that as well. Have always wondered what the difference in chambers was in terms of power.

I still say 241's or budget aftermarket castings like TrickFlow 220 as cast or PRC 225 as cast. By the time you buy some good 243's for ~$350, then have them ported $1000, and buy some good dual springs $300 you're only $150 from buying PRC 225 as cast and $450 from Tooley or TEA built TrickFlow 220 as cast heads.



Quick Reply: ported 241s or 243s?
