Question Dart 205 vs. PRC LS6

Why aren't the Dart heads more popular?

I'm trying to figure out my combo and I'm wondering why more people aren't going for the Darts. The TSP PRC ported Darts outflow the PRC LS6 and have a much smaller intake port. Also, when you compare the prices, they are very similar.

They're a lot of people going with the Dart heads, just they are still new and a lot of people are just starting to get them. Im sure in a few weeks you'll start seeing more numbers from these.

If 700 bucks is similar... the PRC 243s are just a plain sick head for the money.

well the prc ls6 is nice, but add 400 for the better valves and 250 for the dual spring kit and your up to the same price as the darts.

700 LS1 Dart heads have been made & shipped in the last 60 days! I think they just may ... be popular.

Because I'm not in the industry at all, I have no way of knowing what is flying off the shelves and what isn't. I suppose I was commenting on the lack of feedback (positive and/or negative) for a very promising product.

I'm just a consumer and I use this board as a tool to see what's working for cars like mine. Generally, it doesn't take so long for individuals and vendors to begin posting experiences with a new products.

Anyone have any performance information on the Dart 205s??

I think Dart needs to hire a Tony Mamo or Patrick G to really push these heads I read all these great things about the AFR heads and I'm actually debating whether I should shell out the cash. In this highly competitive market I'm surprised to see so little press for the Darts...

Maybe TSP can chime in and give some info on the PRC ported 205s?

I talk to dart and they told me that they were sending out 300 sets a week and still back ordered 45 days, They are sending out as fast as they can pore there molds with aluminum.

Both heads are working very well. Here's more results from the PRC LS6 heads

They flow 307 with 2" valves & just about 318cfm with the 2.04 valve upgrade
