Is anybody running Dart 225's?
 

I've looking at a set of Dart 225's a guy has for sale, but from what I can see they aren't that great of a head. I've got ported 243's now and they don't look that much better than my heads. Anybody have any input on these heads?

I wouldn't do the swap considering you already have ported 243's

I have them and milled to 58cc, 62cc is stock, I did a little bowl work on mine to reduce the valve guide boss in size and picked up 14-19cfm at every lift, mine flow 327 at .600 lift with a 2.055" Ferrera 12* valve

Yeah, I could probably get a good deal on them, but I think I'm gonna pass. I guess I'm gonna just have to nut up and get some AFR's....

I run the AI cnc ported Dart heads. Bad ass heads for sure. Lots of companies have a cnc program for them.

Ran them with an unported FAST 92 and G5X2...made 455/415 on a dynojet. Did 467/427 on a hero pull in good weather. Not really on the same level as an AFR or TFS(Dart as cast version), but they weren't priced like it either. :burn:

Ed Curtis speaks highly of the Dart heads, and says that with some minimal work, those heads are great.

Darts are a good aftermarket budget head...The odd thing is I have yet to see anybody make more power with them over a 243 worked by a competent porter(AI, TEA, Livernois).

Same here. I hear people say they're good but I haven't seen anyone running them with noteworthy results.

Old thread, but interesting non the less.

Thanks for the help guys. I think I'm gonna hang out with my ole stock heads.
