Helps that Dart has one of the best flow benches in the country.
BTW CFE and Chapman heads usually don't flow as well as others but they make more power.

Now 1300 bare seems like a more reasonable deal for everyone.

Competition is good for the consumers.

But puting the competion out of business is no good. At this price there is no competion. I am acturally starting to hope these heads suck because if they are as good as AFR/E-Brock who wouldn't buy the darts? I know it wont put AFR out but it could make their castings almost worthless.

JZ there $640 per head assembled...
I hate to upset u buddy but I'm glad now that I didnt jump the gun and buy TEA's or those used PP heads last week
If I can get a Dart complete for 1280 I know which way I'll be going
I will be able to get them even cheaper,I'm direct with Dart

As am I. Since my partner in crime owns a Mustang shop he has used dart for some time. I bet Jegs starts selling these soon for like 1100 complete.
You made the right move if the darts are as good as they say they are.
I wonder what parts come with them.
Probally 918's or another single spring for that price.
Any info on parts they are going to use?
Also i wonder if they are only for stock bore, or if they have a 4.125 program, a 4" program or anything besides 3.9 bore.

Acturally yes I am crazy. how did you know. Dont worry though I take good meds to keep me as normal as possible.
I understand how things work I just dont like what dart is doing.
1700 for a complete set, Fine.
That saves some money for us, makes other have to lower their prices 500 dollars or so to compete and makes everything better.
However being almost 1000 dollars cheeper then the other aftermarket castings isn't gonna do a thing. You think AFR is gonna come down 1000 dollars.
Patroit already has cheep *** prices and you still dont see TEA/MTI/Futural coming down in price.
Maybe I am crazy. Maybe I just see a different side.
Regardless price wont matter one bit if the heads dont keep up in power.
Only time will tell.

No!! Absolutley not...I have a pair for a conventional small block right now and they are just as expensive now as they were when I bought them and there wasn't that many aftermarket casting available then. This kinda falls into "you get what you pay for"
