Talked with Dart today... I'm going to have a set of 225cc heads here in the next few days too look over. I'm going to flow them and check them over and I can give you guys the run down. Some very good head porters that I have talked too have good things to say about them so I'm excited to see them. Hopefully we will team them up with a cam and install them on a setup in the next month and have some dyno numbers on what they can do.

Thats sweet... Are you guys getting the heads with the lighter valves?

No the 11/32 valves but I will check the weight on them as well to check how close it is.... I shouldn't have problems controling the valves anyways since that parts my daily job.

Valves The valves we sent to Bret were just our standard 11/32 vavless we use in all of our chevy heads, and ford heads. They were not the ones we had worked up to use with the LS1 heads, we never persued ordering any because we have decided to go a different way with the valve stem diameters. No thanks to Rick and Myself gripping a whole lot!! We as racers and end users wanted to make sure that you guys get a part that will allow you to use parts you already own, and not have to buy special retainers, locks, seals, springs, valves or whatever. I will give more specifics as soon as the valve design is finished and we have the weights. But our goal with Bret is for someone to see the heads, his is getting some of the first forty samples we made and they are exactly that samples, we have made some changes in them regarding machining and parts already and that is why we sample them first. Thanks
Wow this is a great thread, I love to see the manufactures of aftermarket parts right here disscusing their product, and then taking feedback right to R&D. Look what good it has done so far. Hats off to Dart, AFR, and ET.
