Default Wegner CNC Ported 243 Heads??

Does anyone have personal experience with Wegner CNC Ported 243 heads? They are discontinued now, but seem to have a background in NASCAR.

I'm running a stock cube LS6 with a 228/232 112LSA cam. She has a full exhaust, vararam, and underdrive pulley as of now.

I have a FAST92 manifold, FAST 36# injectors, and ported LS2 throttle body ready to go on. I was planning on sending my heads to AI but have a friend who has these Wegner heads lying around. He never used them, so I have no first hand information about how they run.

Anyone use them? If so any dyno numbers?

If the price is right get them and run them. I'm sure they are good for a bump in power over stock 243's. Make sure you check the ptv clearance if they have been milled.

228 cc



IIRC. these flow 297/225 @ .600" with strong .200"/.300"/.400" numbers very close to the AI or TEA stuff

They do look great. I know they are stock sized valves, and I believe they are Del West titanium valves and BTR .660 springs

I think I may give them a shot
