PRC/Dart 255 runner question
#1
![Default](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Ok heres were Im confused, If the Dart head comes from Dart as a 225cc runner, then PRC ports them. They would no longer be a 225cc runner. Correct? It would be Im guessing around 245cc. Then why are they still being called PRC/Dart 225 just becasuse they start off as a 225?
Or are they taking a 205cc runners & making them 225cc? Can someone clarify?
Thanks

Im having a custom set of fully cnc ported (PRC) Dart Stage-III heads built with 2.100" int. & 1.60" ext. valves and 59cc chambers 250cc intake runners for a 4.030" bore aluminum LS2 418 ,I was told i should get the by the end of the month ,because Dart is behind on there orders, And Texas Speed said they would come with a flow sheet and ill post it up when i get the heads. Texas Speed told me that the stage III come in two differant runners 245cc & 255cc.after the cnc work.

I don't know my final intake runner volume, no data came with the heads, I'm guessing they are probably a 205 casting hogged out to a 225 intake runner if they are selling them as 225's, but who really knows. I should have had my set measured.
I'm just going to run 'em and cross my fingers they make the power I need.

Dart has a 205 and 225 rough casting.
I think the bare casting is around 200cc and then PRC ports it to 237cc for the Stage 2 and 245/255cc for the Stage 3.
Does that clarify?

Other than that. I understand now.

There are some CNC Ported Darts recently listed on the airflow thread. https://ls1tech.com/forums/generation-iii-internal-engine/317323-interesting-flow-data-long-thread.html
Don't know whose they are, but the runner volume is HUGE considering the flow numbers!
